Get Involved

There are lots of ways to stay connected and involved with our vibrant Tuckwell community.

Alumni Committee  
The Tuckwell Alumni Committee contributes to building an engaged and supportive alumni community by working in partnership with the Tuckwell Scholarship Program and the wider University. Our Committee members provide advice, insight and contributions, and act in an ambassadorial capacity within the Tuckwell and ANU alumni community.
The role of the Committee is to: 
•    increase awareness and involvement: enhance the visibility and participation of Tuckwell Alumni in the events and activities of the program.
•    organise and host events: plan and host events that engage and celebrate Alumni both domestically and internationally.
•    review and recommend: evaluate alumni engagement strategies and activities and provide recommendations to improve their effectiveness.

Mentoring Program

The Tuckwell Mentor Program connects alumni with scholars for knowledge exchange and support across various fields. Tailored guidance is provided to scholars in their final two years, utilising alumni expertise. The program aims to enable alumni to give back while empowering scholars for success. This program will be launched in the second half of 2024.

Sharing your expertise 

As you may remember from your time in the program, Scholars get so much out of hearing from our exceptional Alumni community. The program runs a suite of panel events throughout where Alumni experience, stories, and expertise are shared. These include, but are not limited to: 

  • International Women’s Day
  • Tuckwell Networks Event
  • Senior Scholars Symposium
  • Professional development workshops and information sessions

We welcome all our Alumni to consider ways they can share their experiences with current scholars. Got an idea or want to be involved? Email us at tuckwell@anu.edu.au
