Following a triumphant inaugural year of the St Andrews Charity Fashion Show Alumni Relations Team we are very excited to grow and expand this year. The Alumni Relations Team is dedicated to establishing a robust network of former committee members in order to gain insight into different spheres of the professional world and present networking opportunities for our current committee. Our team is wholeheartedly committed to cultivating a dynamic network of past committee members. This network is not just about reminiscing old times; it's a gateway to invaluable insights across diverse professional arenas and a springboard for networking opportunities for our present committee.

Looking ahead, we're excited to orchestrate a series of alumni events. These gatherings are more than social meetups; they are a conduit for current committee members to interact with FS alumni and immerse themselves in various professional landscapes. Our first event last year—an alumni panel discussion—set a high bar. Four FS alumni shared their post-St Andrews journeys, offering a window into life beyond academia, discussing their careers and life sharing insights into wha they learnt during their time on FS. The success of this event has only fueled our enthusiasm to elevate this year's experiences. Keep an eye on the page for updates on the conference.

In addition to these events, we're launching a newsletter which will highlight the happenings of FS2024 as well as our vision and objectives for the alumni network. This web portal will be dedicated to alumni events in which members of the network can have access to tickets for this year’s show and will act as a platform for current FS committee members to network and connect with previous committees. With our network, we hope to establish a group of prior committee members that cover a wide variety of industries that can be leveraged for gaining knowledge into life after St. Andrews and the ways in which your time on FS has helped you in your career.

As the alumni network launches, our continued dedication and involvement with past committee members can hopefully assist us in gaining traction for the FS alumni network and establish its presence in the St Andrews community and beyond.
