What is the Griffith Alumni Network?

The Griffith Alumni Network is an online platform where you can reconnect with other graduates in your desired field or discipline; become or find a mentor; search job and internship vacancies or find new talent by posting your organisation’s openings; and advance your professional connections and career.

What Can I Do On This Platform?

The Griffith Alumni Network makes it easier to maximise the benefits of being a Griffith graduate.  

• Your profile: Make updates to your contact details and employment information when they change, plus share updates with the rest of the Griffith Alumni Network about projects you’re currently involved in.
• Directory: Find old friends, make new connections - professional or personal - and network with other Griffith alumni in similar (or different) fields.
• Knowledge sharing: Volunteer to be a mentor or search for alumni who can help you with careers advice and information.
• Jobs and opportunities: Find and share job vacancies and other opportunities, such as internship opportunities, that you want to advertise to other Griffith graduates or students in their final year of study.
• Events: Find out about alumni events and book your place, or advertise your own alumni events and manage the entire registration process through the platform.
• Messaging:  Send and receive messages from other alumni through the platform, by email, or through LinkedIn or Facebook.
• Special interests: Follow or start a special interest page to bring together Griffith alumni who have a common goal or interest (this will be coming online soon).

How do I get started?

1. Register here by creating a username and password. We suggest registering through LinkedIn as it is the quickest and easiest way.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions to add all of the relevant information to your profile.
3. Your membership will be activated within five working days.
4. Post a message to say hello and introduce yourself, upload photos, browse to find people you know, and invite other alumni to join.

How can I access the platform?

You can access it on your desktop, tablet or mobile, using all major internet service providers.

Is this just another social media channel?

No. Griffith Alumni Network does not replace our social media channels; it is about creating a platform for Griffith graduates to interact, participate and inspire each other through mentoring, posting jobs and sharing experiences. It’s different from social media because it enables you to refine your searches for jobs and contacts, and allows you to see news and events, photos and updates all in one easy-to-search location.

What alumni are invited to join the Griffith Alumni Network?

All alumni for whom we have accurate email addresses have or will be invited to the platform. In addition, we’re inviting alumni through social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. However, that still leaves a lot of alumni whose emails we don’t have. Please help us to spread the word by inviting alumni that you know or posting to your social media pages.

How secure is the Griffith Alumni Network?

The platform is a closed network accessible only by individuals approved by the Alumni Relations Office. Please be aware that information you share will be viewable by everyone on the platform. You will be able to report inappropriate content if required.
