Development & Alumni

The University of Adelaide has always recognised the importance its Alumni play in assisting to drive and shape the future direction of the University.  This recognition has been further strengthened by the appointment of a Development and Alumni Officer situated within the Faculty of the Professions.  The Faculty is pleased to introduce Mr Luke van Trigt as the Development and Alumni Officer. 

Luke will work closely with the Development and Alumni Office, Faculty of the Professions Office and the five Schools that make up the Professions. Each School has a unique relationship with its alumni, and the role of the Development and Alumni Officer is to assist the Schools in developing tailored programs through coordinating and implementing strategies that foster and strengthen relationships between Schools and its alumni.
