Alumni and Friends

Welcome to all Ustinov College and Graduate Society Alumni! Since the Graduate Society was established in 1965, 22,000 postgraduates have graduated from Durham and become Ustinov alumni.

Even though alumni are based around the world, in many walks of life, they remain part of the Ustinov community. It's easy to keep in touch with each other in college life through our social media channels and the Ustinovian blog. Also, many alumni based in the Durham and North East area stay engaged through our Senior Common Room.

Get involved with Ustinov College’s scholarly community!

We would love for you to be involved in the life of the College. A great way to engage is through the Global Citizenship Programme, led by Ustinov Scholars and volunteers and organising range of academic, social and cultural events. You might offer to be a speaker at one of our events and share your knowledge and expertise on a topic of interest; help with promotion and fundraising and support scholars to network more widely; or you might have other ideas. And wherever you live, you could become part of our career mentoring programme. Whatever you think you could do, we look forward to hearing from you – please get in touch by emailing ustinov.alumni@durham.ac.uk

The latest issue of the Ustinovian, which featured the theme ‘Celebration’, is now available!
