Get involved

The UWA Alumni Ambassador program helps strengthen UWA’s reputation and amplify our international profile. Being a responsive role, the program aims to provide connections for prospective and exchange students to alumni in their city, providing career insights and industry connections. Alumni Ambassadors can contribute their time and talent in support of UWA’s international priorities and initiatives, supporting UWA's 2030 vision, and help UWA continue to be a world top 100 university. 

All ambassadors are invited to attend the Global Alumni Volunteer Conference which provides exclusive training and networking opportunities. Below are just some of the opportunities available:
