One Community Network
The One Community Network brings together people who have a shared interest in being part of the lifelong Newcastle University community: retired staff; current staff; current students; and graduate alumni who are based in the North East.
Through the Network, we aim to realise the vision and concept of ‘One Community’ and to capture and mobilise the rich diversity of skills, experience, perspectives, contacts, enthusiasm, and intellectual capital which our wider community represents.
The Network offer members opportunities to collaborate with others across the wider University community to share ideas, experience, expertise and contacts, promote/attend University events, share news, volunteer for a range of activities and more! It provides a way of maintaining contact with each other, the University and an opportunity to establish new connections across generations.
