The initial schedule for the Weekend is now live and will be added to from January 2018. A variety of reunion groups and popup talks are in the pipeline so check back for further sessions. Interested in creating your own activities? Contact us for help.

Absolutely! Many alumni attend events to meet others from years past and to develop their networks. There'll always be a friendly welcome back on campus. If you'd like support in gathering classmates together, we're here to help.

Yes, the schedule is flexible to allow groups to make the best of the Weekend - be that arranging a private lunch or arranging to revisit old haunts. There will be popup talks in our fabulous industry-leading facilities, allowing both a bit of knowledge update and a tour round our campuses. Facilities will have undoubtedly have changed, even for recent graduates. We encourage all guests to take part in our Gala dinner on the Saturday evening (16 June) at which we will be announcing our Alumni Award winners - the more the merrier!

Attendees can pick and choose from the schedule, so it could be that not everyone will attend everything. On their own, our Alumni Awards attract upwards of 100 guests so we would anticipate the same for our Gala dinner, as a minimum. Overall therefore, we would anticipate 200+ guests would register for one or more events across the Weekend - come join the fun!

No, the University's graduate community is made up of graduates that stretch all the way back to the Treforest School of Mines and Newport's Technical Institute! We're an inclusive community that is actively connected with graduates from the predecessor universities of both Glamorgan and Wales, Newport. While our name may have changed over the years, our community is recognised as one. In fact, check out previous events that involve graduates from across the years >>

The majority of the Weekend will be free of charge, however there will be a reasonable ticket price charged for guests to attend the Gala dinner event on Saturday 16 June (£39 per person or £375 for a group of ten booking together).

Our 2018 Alumni Awards are now going to feature as part of the Big Weekend schedule. Nominations will therefore open on Monday 22 January 2018 and you'll have a window to submit your nomination that runs through until late April (Friday 20).
