Celebrating 60 years of Bath graduates making an impact
Over the past 60 years, more than 150,000 Bath graduates have gone on to shape industries, lead organisations, build successful businesses and tackle some of the world's biggest challenges. Today, that global community spans more than 150 countries and continues to grow every year.
Join us as we celebrate the people behind Bath's story:
- our newest cohort of graduates embarking on exciting careers around the world
- a thriving global network of more than 150,000 alumni
- six decades of achievement, innovation and impact driven by Bath graduates
Whether you're a recent graduate or an established professional, this is an opportunity to connect with fellow alumni living and working in the New York area, expand your network and celebrate the shared experiences that unite the Bath community.
Professor Marcus Munafò, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, and Lydia Lee, Director of Advancement, will share how Bath people—students, alumni and researchers—are making a difference around the world.
Hear inspiring stories from our alumni community, including graduates such as Nik Sekhran (BSc Economics 1990), now Chief Conservation Officer at WWF US, whose work has helped advance global conservation and sustainable development initiatives across more than 45 countries.
You'll also discover how Bath research is being translated into real-world impact:
- making rugby safer for more than nine million players worldwide through the "crouch, bind, set" scrum engagement technique
- helping Ford reduce fuel consumption and emissions, creating carbon savings equivalent to removing 109,000 cars from the road
- saving customers £116 million through research that has helped make the energy grid more efficient
Most importantly, the evening is a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new members of the Bath community and look ahead to the next generation of graduates who will carry Bath's impact into the future.
