About the role

The role is very flexible, some consuls are only able to provide local knowledge and answer emails from prospective students. While others are very proactive and help at recruitment fairs and hold regular events for their local alumni community.

Once you have signed up, your name and email address will be publicly listed on the Sussex alumni and recruitment webpages. From here, prospective students may email to ask you about your time at Sussex, or alumni living locally might get in touch to see if you are planning any get-togethers.

If Sussex representatives are coming to your area, they will contact you to see if you are able to advise or offer help on their projects, or to arrange a meeting to update you on what is happening at the University.

If you would like to hold an event for local alumni, the University can offer support in planning and sending out invitations.
