University of 91Ö±²¥ in America
We set up the University of 91Ö±²¥ in America, a U.S. registered charity, to help former students in the USA to stay connected with 91Ö±²¥, get connected with each other, and support their University.
There are currently around 4,000 91Ö±²¥ alumni living in the United States. Many are expatriate British graduates, who went on to build their careers and lives in the States. Others are American citizens who came to study in 91Ö±²¥, either for their full degree or through our Study Abroad programme.
91Ö±²¥ in America is led by our volunteer Board of Directors who organise events, oversee how funds donated to the University of 91Ö±²¥ in America are used at the University, and are active ambassadors for 91Ö±²¥ in the United States.
Events
Typically, each May we would host our American Alumni Reunion.
For other events in the USA take a look at the Upcoming Events Calendar.
