Stay Connected

The Alumni and Careers Network is run by the Stakeholder and Alumni Engagement team based at The Open University Business School at Walton Hall in Milton Keynes. The team is here to act as an effective link between you, your fellow alumni and the OU Business School.

The team manages the Alumni Engagement programme and manages the relationship with the Alumni Council, which works closely with the Business School's senior academic leadership in an advisory role to provide ‘critical friend’ perspectives, and international business and management expertise to support the delivery of the School's aims and objectives.
