Alumni Association President's Message

One of the best parts of being your Alumni Association President is having the chance to meet so many fellow graduates, and this spring’s King’s Connector event in Toronto was a shining example of what makes our community special. It was fantastic to reconnect with alumni from across the decades, share stories, and hear about the meaningful ways King’s continues to shape our lives. If you haven’t already seen it, check out the photo album on the King’s alumni Facebook page and see how many faces you recognize.

If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry—another great opportunity to come together is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for Homecoming 2025, taking place September 25–27! We have an exciting lineup of events planned, including the Alumni Awards Ceremony, where we’ll celebrate the exceptional accomplishments of King’s graduates. This year, we’re proud to introduce the Alumni Ambassador Award, which recognizes recent grads (within the past five years) whose dedication and enthusiasm have enriched the King’s community. We know there are so many inspiring alumni out there—so if someone comes to mind, consider nominating them for next year’s awards!

We’re always looking for ways to highlight alumni success stories. Whether you’ve launched a new venture, made an impact in your profession or community, or achieved a meaningful personal milestone, we’d love to celebrate you. Sharing these stories not only fosters connection—it also inspires current students and fellow grads alike.

One of the most rewarding ways to stay involved with King’s is by supporting students. Many alumni have already stepped up to offer mentorship, job shadowing, or career advice—and I want to thank you. Your small acts have a big impact. If you’ve ever wondered how to give back to King’s, consider connecting with students. You could be the person who gives someone the confidence, guidance, or encouragement they need to take the next step. Contact the Alumni Office for more information at alumni@kings.uwo.ca.

As always, I encourage you to stay connected. Follow @KUCAlumni on Instagram and Facebook, update your contact information, and join us at upcoming events. Together, we will continue building a strong, supportive alumni network that reflects the values and spirit of King’s.

I look forward to seeing many of you at Homecoming this fall!

Warm regards,
