Keeping 91¿ì²¥’s community of Alumni, Supporters and Friends in the know

Season's Greetings

As 2022 draws to a close, we'd like to extend our warm wishes for the Festive Season to all our Alumni, Supporters and Friends.

This year has seen many success stories of our alumni. We also welcomed another cohort of graduates into the alumni family. Congratulations to our most recent grads and to those who finally got to walk across the stage at the Caird Hall in the summer and last month, when we finally got back to in person graduation ceremonies.

Before switching off for the year, we encourage you to check out the latest happenings in 91¿ì²¥'s alumni community.
