Malaysian ub)alumni Chapter Survey

Attention all Malaysian UB Graduates - we want YOU!

The University is looking into the possibility of forming a ub)alumni Chapter in Malaysia. This is a fantastic opportunity to extend our international 'alumni reach' and we think it's a great idea, but the ultimate success of any chapter is dependent on the level of interest and support from alumni themselves.

So, having said that, we would like to hear your views on the matter - what you think of the idea, whether you're willing and able to be involved, what types of activities you would like to participate in etc. It should take no longer than 5 - 10 minutes to complete, the findings from which will be used to help assess the feasibility of forming an alumni chapter in Malaysia. All responses will be held strictly confidential.

The survey may be completed online (see link below). Alternatively, completed hard copy surveys may be returned via Nick Banderas, Program Manager, Unity College or faxed to +61 3 5327 9855.

So, don't miss out on your chance to have a say in the formation of a chapter that accommodates your interests and meets your needs. To access the survey, go to:
