The St Andrews Connection
The University of St Andrews takes pride in its loyal and faithful alumni who, together with their parents and families, act as some of the University’s best ambassadors and supporters. St Andrews offers a unique and stimulating academic environment in which to live and study and many lifelong friendships are made here.
At St Andrews the parents and families of our students are considered an important part of the University community and this is recognised through the Family Programme. Parents and guardians of first year undergraduates are invited to attend a reception at the start of Freshers’ Week. Families are welcomed to the University community by the Principal and members of staff are on hand to answer any questions regarding all aspects of student life. All those who have registered with the Family Programme receive a copy of a bi-annual newsletter, Link, and a regular e-newsletter, St Andrews in the News, to be kept up to date with news and developments at the University. Throughout the year the Love From Home service, run in conjunction with a local bakery, allows families to mark special occasions by sending cakes and gift baskets to students. In addition, families may choose to support the University Library by contributing to the Family Book Fund or to volunteer as career contacts to assist final year students and recent graduates.
While graduation marks the culmination of years of hard work, the University endeavours, through its Alumni Relations Office, to ensure that the celebratory Graduation Ceremonies, Garden Parties and Ball do not mark the end of the association of its graduates and their families with the University, but rather the beginning of a lifelong membership of the alumni community of St Andrews.

As life members of the General Council, a governing body which meets twice a year, graduates have an opportunity to hear first hand about the achievements and aspirations of the University and to contribute to discussions on matters of importance to its future. Membership also entitles graduates to marry in either of the University’s chapels, to apply for life membership of the Students’ Association and the University Library and to receive the annual magazine, Alumnus Chronicle, with features about the University as well as information about clubs, reunions and news from former students.
Following graduation, the network of St Andrews alumni clubs throughout the UK and the world provides opportunities for alumni to meet up with fellow alumni who have shared some of the same experiences. The creation of online Alumni Web Services, designed exclusively for alumni and friends of the University, the development of an email forwarding service for alumni and more recently a University of St Andrews Alumni Network Profile on Facebook have meant that it has never been easier for our alumni to keep in touch with each other and with their alma mater.
