Desperately seeking lost alumni

Image

Each summer thousands of new graduates leave the McEwan Hall and say fond farewells to each other, vowing to stay in touch.

Many will keep those promises, but over the years countless Edinburgh alumni have lost contact with those who were once among their closest friends.

A message from the past

In the summer of 2014 we launched an appeal, Project Postcard, to help reconnect alumni. 25,000 postcards were sent to far flung corners of the globe with an invitation to write a message to a long-lost friend and the promise we would do our best to forward the postcards to those former classmates or flatmates.

We need your help

Sadly we have not been able to trace all the intended recipients of the postcards returned to the University. Perhaps you know the whereabouts of one or more of the following alumni and could encourage them to contact us.
