November 2014 | Alumni Profiles

This month's alumni have kept an ongoing connection with Edinburgh, either by returning over the years or by persuading family members to follow in their footsteps.

We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.

Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.
