Next steps 

The University’s Alumni Association Committee have awarded the organisers an Alumni Association Initiative Grant of £1000.  

The grant will be used towards funding these activities and producing a Yearbook which will contain stories, experiences and learning from a life career in medicine and be shared with current students. 

To help make this reunion a success, the organisers are asking that you: 

• Make contact with as many 1970 starters and 1975 finishers as possible and ask them to join the WhatsApp group and/or email tjkemple@gmail.com. 

• Let them know your ideas for the Yearbook and activities for the reunion weekend. 

• Let them know if you have time and want to volunteer to help in some way. 

  
Do you have a great idea to bring together the alumni community? You can apply here for a grant to get your plans off the ground. 

 

When you join us at an event, the organisers share this information with the University alumni team for their records. This will be stored confidentially within the alumni database. This won't change how the University contacts you, but you can manage this at any time by emailing the team at alumni@bristol.ac.uk, or phoning them on 0117 394 1046.
