Alumni Events

Alumni event

Throughout the year, the Tuckwell Scholarship hosts events for Alumni to stay connected to the program. We offer our Alumni opportunities to continue to build on, foster, and develop Tuckwell community spirit across and between cohorts.

Our regular Alumni events include:

This is an annual event and is an informal “final” Scholars House event for the graduating scholars. An opportunity for Scholars, Tuckwell Fellows, Tuckwell Alumni and staff to celebrate together. This event was held for the first time in 2016 and is an established tradition of the Tuckwell Scholarship Program.

  • Graduation Pancakes

Commencement is an annual event, held to welcome our newest cohort of Tuckwell Scholars with a ceremonial bell ringing. Commencement is also an opportunity to congratulate recently graduated Scholars with their Tuckwell Alumni pin. It is a chance to celebrate, reflect, connect and give thanks to those who make the Tuckwell experience possible.

  • Pin ceremony at Commencement

This event is an opportunity to speed network with current and former Tuckwell scholars, hear from a panel of Tuckwell Alumni, break into academic and professional network groups, and plan opportunities to connect after the event.

  • Annual Tuckwell Networks

This event provides an opportunity for Alumni to maintain and create new connections across cohorts, and across the University, and to meet Tuckwell Scholars who are soon to join the Alumni community. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the success of Tuckwell Alumni, as we reflect on their achievements, and look with them to the future to ponder: "what next?"

  • Tuckwell Alumni Reception

This event provides an opportunity for Alumni to maintain and create new connections across cohorts, and across the University, and to meet Tuckwell Scholars who are soon to join the Alumni community. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the success of Tuckwell Alumni, as we reflect on their achievements, and look with them to the future to ponder: "what next?"

  • Tuckwell Alumni Online Event

This online event provides an opportunity for Alumni based in Australia and overseas to maintain and create new connections across cohorts. As our Tuckwell Alumni community grows, we expect so too will the range and type of Alumni events we offer.
