One of the most rewarding ways to give back to Hull is to volunteer your time, expertise and enthusiasm to help our current students and your fellow graduates. Your gift of time is invaluable.
Volunteering as a University of Hull alum offers you many benefits:
Share your industry expertise to enhance our curriculum and student experience. Our students value hearing from graduates in their field and learning about their career journeys.
Events can be in person or online, allowing you to take part from anywhere in the world.
The University of Hull Career Mentoring Programme helps students build confidence and explore career options as they transition into the workplace. Our volunteer mentors, from various roles and organisations, offer advice, insights, and answer career-related questions.
Our extensive photo archive, housed at Hull History Centre, captures key moments in its history – from student life and research achievements to graduation ceremonies and notable figures. We need locally-based volunteers to help preserve this collection by scanning photo negatives, filing, and labelling them on SharePoint.
If you're available on Mondays, and interested in the University's history, we'd love to hear from you.
As a University of Hull graduate, you're our best ambassador. Inspire future students by highlighting your career achievements and how your degree made a difference. We're always looking for interesting and inspiring alumni stories to feature in our newsletter and on social media.
Want to share your story? Email alumni@hull.ac.uk, and we'll be in touch to discuss further.
Strengthen your professional network and connect with fellow University of Hull graduates by joining or starting an alumni group in your city or country.
With a global alumni network, you're never far from someone who shares that Hull connection. Groups can support student recruitment, foster professional ties, and keep the spirit of Hull alive wherever you are in the world.
It's quick and easy. Just complete our registration form and our Alumni Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch.
