The Department of Management welcomed back alumni volunteers and employer partners to its annual Volunteer Thank You Awards, an occasion to acknowledge them for their generous support over the 2022-23 academic year.
One alumnus said of the volunteering opportunities: “To take part in different and unique events year on year keeps us engaged, so thank you to the Department of Management for this”.
