A few weeks ago we welcomed alumni from our Law School back to campus to give them a sneak peek of our newly renovated Law Library 👀
Guests also had an opportunity to reconnect with each other and academics at the school, hear from recent graduates embarking on their legal career and meet students who are benefitting from alumni-funded scholarships 💙
It was great to catch up with Law graduates and to hear where life has taken them since their university days. If you'd like to hear about future alumni events make sure your contact details and preferences are up-to-date.
