Volunteer Opportunities for Alumni – Share your Durham Story 

Durham University’s Student Recruitment Team are organising a series of online sessions in October as part of Discover Durham Live  and we would love for our alumni to be part of them. 

We are looking for enthusiastic graduates to speak to prospective students and share their Durham experience. We are looking for alumni to speak about why you chose to study at Durham or where your degree has taken you. 

The sessions are taking place across Monday 20 October and Tuesday 21 October at the below times:  

• 11am -11.45am 

• 4pm - 4.45pm 

• 8pm - 8.45pm 

The Student Recruitment Team are also hosting two sessions focusing on Study Abroad and Placement Years on Monday 20 October between 11am -11.45am and Tuesday 21 October between 6pm - 6.45pm
