Students at their graduation ceremony

Global Gathering

Each year, UEA alumni all over the world have come together to celebrate their connection to the University by holding reunion events in the days and weeks around 29 September, UEA's birthday.

Gatherings have been held in Beijing, Brighton, Japan, Washington D.C., Guyana, Kenya and many other locations. Past events have included city tours, quizzes, beach parties and formal dinners. 

The events are held in September and October and are alumni-led. The Alumni team offer support with guest lists, give advice on bookings and provide event resources.

The 2025 season of Global Gatherings have now ended. See below for details of events held this year.
