Imperial College Business School’s alumni community is accomplished, inspiring and diverse. Our alumni are the School’s greatest advocates and supporters. We rely on the support of our dedicated alumni to assist with our events and activities and to help realise the School’s strategic goals.

We are always keen to grow our supporter base with our talented alumni. Volunteering your time strengthens your link to the Business School community and provides you with opportunities to continuously develop your professional and personal skills.

Below are some of the activities which you can support. We welcome the interest of alumni across all programmes. As a volunteer, you will receive support from our team to ensure a positive and rewarding experience.

Imperial College Business School Careers need alumni support across a range of activities and initiatives. You can provide invaluable resources through offering placements, internships or consultancy projects for students.
