DIALOGUE Issue #5 2020
Our alumni platform RGS Connect is now four years old and has a population of over 2,000 users. Over that time, it has become a trustworthy and dependable resource for all our community. It is the place to go for updates on School and alumni events, photos from reunions and from the archives, and interesting news from the School and further afield. Over the last year it has been a friendly space for OGs to reconnect with old classmates and the odd teacher. Our alumni span nine decades, with OGs graduating from the School just this year, back to 1935.
RGSCONNECT Why it’s important to stay connected
Most importantly, RGS Connect is a great resource if you are seeking professional and careers advice. Over 75% of our community are willing to help. That’s over 1,500 professionals willing to share their knowledge and experience. The ability to search the directory by company, industry, position and location makes it effortless to access this intelligence.
