Want to stay connected to the University but not sure where to start? Whether you graduated recently or decades ago, there are plenty of meaningful ways to stay involved. From giving back to engaging with your alumni community, here are some great opportunities to reconnect, get involved and support the next generation of students.
1. Become a LivUni mentor
Students often need more than textbooks and lectures — they need real-world advice, encouragement, and someone who's walked the path before them. LivUni Mentors offers you the opportunity to share your career advice and story with current students and fellow alumni through informal mentoring via Handshake, the University’s Careers & Employability platform.
How to get started: Register your interest by completing the LivUni Mentors - Registration Form
2. Donate to the Student Fund
Join our supporter community by giving back. Your donation - no matter the size - helps create opportunities for current students through scholarships, bursaries and hardship funding. It’s a powerful way to pay it forward and ensure future students have the same chance to thrive. Whether it's a one time gift or a regular donation, your generosity makes a real difference.
