AlumniPlanning a reunion

Reunions are a great way to reconnect with old friends, revisit your time at Strathclyde, and celebrate special milestones.

Use the information below to help you get started with planning your reunion, and get in touch with us at alumni-relations@strath.ac.uk when are you are ready, or if you have any questions.

What support do we offer?

  • Help booking a campus tour from one of our Student Ambassadors. If no tours are available, you can access our self guided campus tour and podcast here! 
  • Support drafting and sending invitations to your group. To do so, we would require the following information: your alumni membership number, whom you would like to contact, a draft of your message and your permission to pass your contact details over to former classmates. 
  • A dedicated space for your reunion group on Strathclyde Connect.
  • Connecting you with departmental contacts in the University.
  • Help booking space for your group in The Terrace at the Students Union. The Terrace Bar and Kitchen serves drinks Mon-Sat and food Mon-Fri and has pool tables and darts available.

Frequently asked questions

We are very happy to contact your former classmates on your behalf, but due to data protection regulation we cannot pass any contact information to you. Contacting former classmates is entirely dependent on whether alumni have supplied the university with up-to-date contact information.  

You can search our alumni directory on Strathclyde Connect to find former classmates. 

Other ways to get in touch with your former classmates are via LinkedIn or Facebook. The University has an alumni LinkedIn group with over 13,600 members who you will be able to contact directly if you join the group. 

The new Strathclyde Students' Union space is located in the Learning and Teaching Building at 51 Richmond Street, and alumni are welcome to enquire into booking a space for drinks and/or food as part of their reunion planning. 
 
Please note the former Students' Union at John Street is permanently closed. 

The University is engaged in an ambitious campus development plan, with investment set to reach £1 billion by 2025 to create a vibrant, dynamic and re-focused campus in the heart of Glasgow. New buildings include the Technology and Innovation Centre (2015), Strathclyde Sport (2018), and the Learning and Teaching Building (2022).

As part of these developments some buildings have been vacated over the years:

  • Turnbull building - closed in 2013
  • Baird hall - closed as student accommodation in 2003
  • Ramshorn - closed as University drama centre in 2011
  • Jordanhill campus - closed in 2012
  • Lord Todd bar - closed in 2020

 

If you would like to visit a specific building, you will need to organise this directly with the relevant department. We can help by putting you in touch with the relevant staff but cannot guarantee that a tour/visit would be possible. 

Accommodation

The University's Campus Village normally offers room only, bed & breakfast and self-catering flats from mid-June to mid-September for groups of a minimum of 30 people, however, please note the campus village is currently undergoing some renovations and is unable to take bookings. Ross Priory, on the banks of Loch Lomond, has year round bed & breakfast and self-catering accommodation available exclusively to staff and graduates. Read more about the University’s accommodation options.

Glasgow has an abundance of hotels, bed & breakfasts and serviced apartments. We would advise using booking.com, tripadvisor.co.uk, trivago.co.uk or expedia.co.uk for inspiration on where to stay during your visit to Glasgow.

Activities and Sights

Whether you are looking for an activity for your entire class or are looking to explore the city in a smaller group, there is always something to do in Glasgow. For inspiration we suggest that you have a look at TripAdvisor, What’s on Glasgow or The List.

Restaurants and Bars 

Glasgow’s restaurants and bars are forever changing with new exciting places popping up all the time. We use TripAdvisor, GlasgowLive or 5pm to stay updated and recommend that you do the same.

Funding

Please note we are unable to provide any funding to support your reunion.
