Alumni Day of Action
Thank you to all our alumni and friends who contributed to this year's event programme
What is the Day of Action?
The Day of Action is an annual opportunity for our global alumni community to take action on a meaningful cause affecting all our daily lives.
This year’s ‘Social Justice’ theme invited us to join forces as a community to take action on social injustices. As ever, this included the opportunity to network, build your knowledge and get inspired by the world-class work of Newcastle alumni and researchers.
Our impact
This year we came together in a different way. Our virtual format enabled alumni worldwide to join the activities and our impact to be truly global.
Highlights of the impact that this year's event had on taking action for social justice can be seen on the infographic here.
