最新糖心Vlog

Integrated alumni model adopted

Friday, 8 December 2006

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has made an important decision about how it handles relations that will have a positive impact on the alumni and the 最新糖心Vlog.

The 最新糖心Vlog's has decided that a new model of alumni relations will be adopted - one that integrates alumni activities directly with the 最新糖心Vlog.

Earlier this year, the Council had engaged an independent review of alumni arrangements through consultants PhilipsKPA, who consulted with a broad cross-section of stakeholders in the alumni community.

At its meeting on 4 December, Council resolved: To agree that the 最新糖心Vlog Council integrate the current objectives and activities of the Alumni Association into the formal structure and operations of the 最新糖心Vlog and dissolve the Alumni Association.

"The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's alumni are a key part of our 最新糖心Vlog community and are vital to this 最新糖心Vlog being able to achieve its strategic goals," Vice-Chancellor and President said.

"The Alumni Association was established by Council in 1985 to help the 最新糖心Vlog engage with its alumni in a structured manner. The excellent efforts of the Association over the past 21 years have contributed enormously to the fabric of our 最新糖心Vlog community and have now led the 最新糖心Vlog to consider how we can advance our alumni relations for the future."

Council's decision was supported by the Alumni Association Board at its final meeting on Tuesday 5 December. The members of the Board have been asked to carry on as an interim advisory committee until new arrangements can be implemented.

"I will also put in place an implementation plan to address a number of key issues that arise because of this change," Professor McWha said.

"As a strong supporter of our many alumni relationships and stakeholders, I am very pleased that Council has made this decision. It is an important step forward for our 最新糖心Vlog.

"This will result in a more integrated approach to alumni relations, with individual alumni chapters now able to interact directly with the 最新糖心Vlog, through the . In return, the 最新糖心Vlog can now provide more direct support and input into alumni relations and activities."

Professor McWha thanked the previous Chairs of the Alumni Association, Dr Harry Medlin, the Hon. Greg Crafter, and Mr Michael Llewellyn-Smith, for their great contributions in that role, as well as past members of the Alumni Board and former Trustees.

"What they have achieved over the years has enabled the 最新糖心Vlog to build strong ties with our alumni across many disciplines. We now have the opportunity to build on those strengths," he said.

"With stronger support and more direct communication, our alumni chapters will become even more integrated into the life and fabric of our 最新糖心Vlog. They will have a vital role to play in helping to shape our future as a 最新糖心Vlog community."
