Alumni Consultative Group
The Alumni Consultative Group (ACG) aims to represent the interests of all Newcastle University alumni. As alumni ambassadors, the members aim to act in an Alumni liaison capacity and provide valuable input to the senior management of the University on issues of strategic importance. The members also support the Development and Alumni Relations Office in ensuring key messages are communicated outwards.
Membership of the ACG
Members are drawn from the body of Alumni, the senior management of the University, the Chairman of Convocation and the Union Society. As of 2005, the ten Alumni members are now elected every three years. Two of the ten elected members are then voted Chair of the ACG and Vice-Chair of the ACG at the annual meeting of Convocation. The other members (senior management and Union Society representative) are appointed by virtue of their professional role within the University.
