Are you thinking about organising a reunion event with your classmates to reminisce about old times? The Alumni Team can help!
Hints to help you with every step of the planning process.
-
Plan in advance to get the date in diaries and consider when you would like to hold the event – what time of year (summer, Christmas, a memorable date, 5, 10, 25, 30, 40, 50-year anniversary of graduating). Bear in mind you may wish to avoid school holidays and other busy times of the year.
-
Decide where you would like to meet and if it will be a formal or informal event. The Alumni Team can help plan tours of Edinburgh Napier campuses and offer advice on accommodation nearby for those travelling from afar.
-
Draw up a plan for finding your lost contemporaries - we can help you find and contact your former classmates and invite them on your behalf. Contact the alumni team with information on whom you are looking for, and we can advise if we have their details. Whilst we cannot give out personal contact details, we can contact alumni with information about the event and ask them to reply to you directly. We can also help promote your event via our website, e-newsletter, and social media channels.
