Volunteering
The Macquarie alumni community is an amazing group of people – many who generously give their time and expertise to support other MQ alumni and students in a range of activities.
Macquarie alumni support their fellow alumni as Alumni Chapter and Network leaders, Galleries and Museum staff and Friends of MQ Health.
Macquarie alumni also support future alumni (current students) to develop their skills and networks for successful careers. Through MQ mentoring programs, the award-winning PACE program and even as MQ Graduations volunteers, alumni help and expertise is extraordinary and often transformative.
