UTS Young Alumni program

Welcome to the UTS Young Alumni community! We’d love you to connect with your network of over 48,000 young alumni through a series of social and professional development opportunities created just for you. Meet the graduates on your committee, sign up for events and get social! 

About 

The UTS Young Alumni program, driven by the UTS Young Alumni Committee, creates opportunities for our graduates to connect, collaborate, empower each other to grow, and make a difference in the wider community. 

We are passionate about supporting our recent graduates as they embark upon their professional careers and start making their mark on the world. We want to help you reach for the stars! 

This program defines young alumni as 35 years old and younger, or those within five years of graduating. 

Meet your committee

UTS Young Committee September 2024

The UTS Young Alumni Committee are your advocates and ambassadors. Representing faculties from across the university, these ambitious and inspiring graduates are at different stages of their careers, but all have forged a meaningful, lifelong connection to the UTS community.  

Your committee is: 

The committee consists of up to 12 members, each of whom is appointed for a 2-year term with an option for a second 2-year term. They meet once a month for an hour, and they curate the Young Alumni program; facilitate connections between current students, industry partners and the alumni community; and grow the UTS alumni network. 

Please reach out to them in person or online at any time to share your ideas, feedback, or even just to say hi!
