Sheffield University School of Architecture has produced a great many distinguished graduates over the years. High profile alumni that are still closely connected to the school include:

John Allan of Avanti Architects
Roger Hawkins of Hawkins Brown - (Architect's Journal Practice of the Year 2011)
Paul Monaghan of Alford Hall Monaghan Morris
Greg Penoyre of Penoyre and Prasad
Stephen Proctor of Proctor Matthews
Ruth Reed – The first female president of the RIBA

We want to develop our alumni network allowing our students, staff and former students to benefit from one another.

We recently held our first Alumni Event in London, which proved very successful and was attended by over 150 people. We are hoping to establish this as an annual event, along with similar Sheffield based events during our summer exhibition.

Our alumni are also very welcome to attend our symposia and open lectures within the School. During term time, SUAS hold regular evening lectures at 6pm on Thursday nights in the Well. Details of all of these can be found on the SSoA Calendar.

We want to know what you would like us to do to keep you connected. Would you be interested in regular email shots to keep you informed of events in the school? Would you like us to arrange reunion get dinners for particular years at regular intervals? Would you like to get involved in teaching and reviews? Or would it be possible for you to give some work experience or careers advice to a Sheffield Graduate? Do you want to be put in touch with other SSoAA in your area? Tell us what you want.
