Annual Meeting of Convocation

As a graduate you can continue to play a vital role in the future of your university

The annual Meeting of Convocation gives an opportunity for alumni to join discussions with the Vice-Chancellor and President about the latest developments at the University and helps to shape future plans. You can also have your say on who is elected as our Chancellor and nominate people for an honorary degree from Newcastle University.
