Alumni represent our most valuable achievements Prof David Greenaway: “Our alumni community is hugely important to the future prosperity of the University. One of the things you measure a University by is the quality of its graduates – not crude league tables – but by what they’ve done since they’ve left the University, how successful they’ve been in their career and what contribution they’ve made to society – they are the criteria I use to judge the quality of our alumni because their success is our success.”
