RGS seeks to involve alumni in a variety of ways. While financial support for the School's fundraising priorities is vital, you may also be able to help by giving your time or practical assistance. This might include hosting or speaking at an event, giving careers advice to students and alumni or contributing to one of our university programmes.
For more information visit our Alumni website.
Two of our most notable alumni are our VCs Frederick Youens and Ian Fraser. They continue to be an inspiration to us all, and a source of pride that we - through RGS - are closely associated with them.
