Alumni Research Service

What this service is 

This service provides prospect research and ‘curated alumni lists’ to academic departments, faculties, schools and professional services departments for information on volunteer recruitment, marketing profiles, event attendees, internship provision, event speakers and more.

For example:

  • Providing a long list of alumni in one specific city or business, as shown on this document.
  • Providing a short list of alumni at one employer or from a specific course who now work in a specific industry.

Who it’s for 

Our service is for current University of York staff who are looking to engage with a segment of our Alumni population.

York for Life Directory

As a member of staff you have access to the York for Life platform, the place where staff, alumni and students connect. Housed within the platform is the Directory, where you can search through over 4000 alumni by industry, department, degree, graduation year, country and city. Once you’ve identified the alumni you want to make contact with, you can directly message them through the York for Life platform.
