Dear ANU Alumni Member,
 
The registration numbers for the ANU Alumni Visit to Cambridge University [26 July – 1 August] for their 800th Anniversary Celebration Year are very good with over 40 in the ANU Alumni party. Enquiries are still welcome with the payment deadline of 4 May approaching fast. Unfortunately this centenary opportunity can only be repeated in one hundred years so it’s now or never!
 
Alumni often ask how they can contribute to ANU. We have an excellent way to give back through a new Alumni Mentoring Network to assist students and young Alumni who are still making career choices. Mentoring expectations are on the website, and you may apply to become an Alumni Mentor - it takes just 30 seconds. Applications from senior and mid-range alike, from young and older Alumni, are very welcome.
 
We share pride in ANU Alumni achievements. Take a look at our new web pages promoting Alumni Exhibitions, Awards and Concerts, and where possible, please support them with your attendance.
 
Best wishes
