A celebratory week of Alumni activities summer 2025– save the date!
We are delighted to announce that in June 2025 we will be hosting a week of activities in celebration of our Alumni community, and hope to welcome visitors back from all over the world! If you are planning a trip to the UK next summer, why not incorporate one or more of the following events?
We kick off with an Alumni trip to The Burn, followed by our annual Goodenough Summer Party in the LH quad and finish with a 10-year out reunion weekend – incorporating the final candlelit Formal Hall Dinner of the academic year to which all are welcome.  Through these events you will have to opportunity to enjoy returning to College and your old haunts around Mecklenburgh Square, revisiting our home in Scotland or experiencing it for the first time, and meeting up with fellow Alumni and current Members of the College.

Mentoring opportunities– calling all Thought-Leaders!
Are you an Alum who is working in an industry different from the one you studied? Did the role you’re in not exist in its current form when you completed your degree? If that sounds like you, we need you!

Our Members are studying in courses that didn’t exist even five years ago, which means the ability to connect with alumni through their universities are limited. While it is exciting to see new courses develop, like the MA in Philosophy and AI from Northeastern University London, the MPA in Data Science for Public Policy from LSE, and MA Fashion Marketing and Sustainability from University of the Arts London. None of which existed ten years ago.

As the College prepares to celebrate our next cohort of Leavers, we want to help our students navigate the job market, especially if they’re in the first cohorts to graduate. We need our Alumni, trailblazers in their own right, to help illustrate a pathway to success for those that want to follow in their footsteps. We want to celebrate those who are taking a leap of faith and investing in these courses and themselves and show them their studies and skills are well-valued.

If this sounds like you, get in touch to find out more about our upcoming Mentoring Programme and how you can help.

For more information and to register for any of our events go to Goodenough Global events. If you would like to put on an Alumni event in your area or present a virtual talk please contact alumni@goodenough.ac.uk
