Sheffield Live - Alumni Panels
Advise and guide the next generation of Sheffield students. Talk about your career after graduation and inspire international offer holders and enquirers to choose a degree at Sheffield.
What is Sheffield Live?
Sheffield Live Sessions are an opportunity for prospective students to engage with the University; to find out more about different aspects of University life, to help in their research and in decision making. The sessions are open to students of all levels and nationalities.
The Sheffield Live Alumni Panels are a volunteering programme at the University of Sheffield that supports international student recruitment. The programme involves a series of online panel events featuring international alumni.
You’ll remember that choosing your university was a big step, especially if you didn’t have the chance to visit the city and campus in person. Sheffield Live Alumni Panels gives prospective students the opportunity to hear from international alumni with the aim of inspiring them to choose the University of Sheffield for their degree.
Alumni Panels are an excellent opportunity to share your experience with a new generation of students. It’s great to learn so much from hearing the stories of other alumni as well, and I highly recommend taking part in these kinds of activities.
