Our annual London branch celebrations packed out the pub at the Old Bank of England in Fleet Street in November, and saw a record number of alumni turn up on the night. Representatives from the original London branch joined the new committee for an evening of drinks, nibbles and networking.<\/h2>\n

The London branch committee is currently planning a 1930s prohibition event; any London-based alumni are welcome to attend, so please do contact us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

China<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Dame Wendy Hall visited Shenzhen in December to speak with graduates interested in forming an alumni branch in the area. We are in the process of forming a committee to lead this group. Please contact us<\/a> if you would like to be involved.<\/p>\n

Japan<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Tokyo alumni branch held an afternoon tea celebration for new graduates returning to Japan after graduating in the summer.<\/p>\n

Singapore and Malaysia<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

We were delighted that Professor Nick Jennings, who was made Companion of the Order of the Bath in the Queen\u2019s New Year Honours this year, was able to present a special alumni lecture at the University of Southampton\u2019s Malaysia Campus in Johor, Malaysia, before reprising his talk for alumni in Singapore.<\/p>\n

The lecture, given at the end of January, brought Professor Jennings\u2019s pioneering work on Human-Agent Collectives to our alumni audiences in Malaysia and Singapore, and the informal drinks reception that followed provided an opportunity for networking and reconnecting with old friends.<\/p>\n

Mexico<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

An alumni dinner was held in Mexico City in November, with alumni, University staff and current University students in attendance. The students were part of current exchange programmes with Mexican universities.<\/p>\n
