50 Forever Surrey / anniversary issue
Alumni support from
around the world
The support we receive from our international alumni and partners plays a critical role in Surrey’s development and global outreach and in maintaining our reputation as a leading institution.
Members of our new Hong Kong alumni group
Within the Surrey community we have a number of thriving groups of friendly and engaged alumni sharing a passion and commitment to Surrey. They act as regional ambassadors and trusted advocates, support current and prospective students and keep Surrey graduates connected to the University and to each other.
Hong Kong community
Our newest group was set up this year in Hong Kong with Dr Robin Bradbeer, Class of 67, Victor Cheung, Class of 88, and Trevor Jarrett, Class of 74.
There are over 2,000 Surrey alumni in Hong Kong and around 420 current students from the region studying at Surrey. The Hong Kong Surrey alumni club aims to organise social and networking opportunities, keep alumni informed of what is happening at Surrey and support the University by helping with student
recruitment, building Surrey’s reputation and fundraising, in particular for The Chancellor’s 50th Anniversary Appeal.
US support
One of our longest-serving alumni groups is The Friends of the University of Surrey, Inc in the US, established in 2003.
Alumnus Surjit Chana has recently become a member of the Board to help develop a new plan of activity and engagement with our graduates based in America. He joins a group of alumni which includes Neil Chapman, who graduated in Chemical Engineering in 1984 and is President of ExxonMobil Chemical Company, and Dr Mark Rhoads-Brown of Renaissance Technologies, who completed his Physics PhD in 1977.
Surjit, who graduated with a BSc in Physics in 1987, is a seasoned global executive who
has held progressively senior management positions in the corporate sector and is currently a Harvard Fellow at the Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative.
He said “This is an amazing time for the University of Surrey with the appointment of Professor Lu as Vice-Chancellor and the 50th anniversary. I am honoured to be joining the Board and look forward to working with alumni, promoting the University to prospective students and helping to drive industry engagement in support of the new strategy for Surrey.”
There are many ways to support Surrey from afar. We have a number of volunteering opportunities available, such as international ambassador, and we are always happy to help you promote a reunion or networking event.
