MUNalum 101 Event Idea

Since April 2020, the Office of Alumni Engagement has hosted multiple virtual events exploring a range of topics and themes and featuring faculty and staff members in their field of expertise as panelists that have helped broaden the minds of viewers and participants. As a result, we have engaged a global audience, creating increased opportunities for engagement, recruitment, and for enhancing pride and affiliation for Memorial, the area of speciality and for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. We have determined this is a direction we will pursue for the foreseeable future and have now formally branded the initiative as MUNalum 101.

MUNalum 101 represents lifelong learning, connection, and engagement. Pride, celebration, and knowledge. We want our alumni to engage with Memorial for many years after graduation. The brand is an umbrella for the Memorial-driven “101” introduction to topics linked to one or more of Memorial’s faculties, schools, departments and non-academic units.

We need great minds to build a stronger future and as stated by our president, Dr. Vianne Timmons, "Universities should not reflect the world in which we live; rather, they should reflect the world in which we want to live". MUNalum 101 will strive to meet that objective.

As a representative of a Memorial faculty, school, department or non-academic unit, if you have an idea for a virtual or hybrid (i.e. in person and online) MUNalum 101 event and would like to partner with the Office of Alumni Engagement, please let us know by completing the form below. Please note that submissions will be reviewed at the beginning of each month and a representative from our office will follow up to discuss your idea.

Thank you for your time!
