University of Sussex Business School Economics Alumni Reunion
We are delighted to welcome back all University of Sussex Economics Alumni back to campus for our first ever Economics Alumni Reunion on Saturday 12 July from 3pm to 7pm!
We understand that not everyone will be able to travel back to campus, but if you are in the UK at this time, we would love to see you. If you're interested in making your visit a weekend trip in Brighton, we're offering overnight accomodation on campus - read more below.
Join us for a summer party inspired networking reunion, featuring a BBQ, refreshing drinks and a special talk. We’ll be joined by Professor Sambit Bhattacharyya, Head of Economics, and our facilitator, Dr C. Rashaad Shabab, Director of Student Experience - faces you may well recognise!
I’m excited to share that we will also be hearing from Economics alumnus, Allan Ang. He’ll begin with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, before diving into his talk, ‘The Leadership Mindset’. Allan will share how to take charge of your career, define your purpose, and set goals that truly matter. It’s going to be a session full of valuable insights and the perfect spark for some great conversations during networking. Read more about Allan below.
At the event, we will have a slide show of photos at Sussex; if you have any photos of your time at Sussex that you would like to share, email them to events@sussex.ac.uk.
Spaces are limited, so book your spot now! You are welcome to book a guest ticket too.
