The Division of Development and Alumni Relations (DDAR) fosters relationships

with former graduates and friends of The University of Manchester, helping them
to stay in touch with old friends and keeping them involved with the university
after graduation, by means of a magazine, and various events. DDAR also raises
funds for cutting edge research and student access programmes, keeping
Manchester at the forefront of the academic community.

Volunteers play an important part in a variety of roles within the Division. This
may involve accurately maintaining and refining huge numbers of former
students¿ records, undertaking research on potential donors, contributing to the
department¿s website or event activities or undertaking promotional work for
the department and the wider university. Alumni

The Student Volunteering Team (SVT) is a student-led team supported by the

Division of Development and Alumni Relations (DDAR). Their goal is to raise
funds within the student body for Your Manchester Fund, in order to support a
developing world scholar in their studies at Manchester. Over the course of the
one-year term, the team devises and rolls out its own initiatives in order to
engage current students, organise fundraising activities and undertake market
research of current students.

All SVT members are given the opportunity to take an active role in all areas of
the team's operations. However, each team member takes overall responsibility
for a specific area, according to their position within the team: Chair, Secretary,
Treasurer, Operations, Marketing or Events or Research and Evaluation.

The team has a particular focus on the research and use of new social media, but
is responsible for devising, planning and implementing its own fundraising
strategy for the year. Alumni
Scholarship Ambassadors assist the Division of Development & Alumni Relations Alumni
to engage current/potential donors and alumni, with the core goals of the
University. The role requires attending events, helping with donor visits and
speaking about receiving a scholarship and the impact it has had on their
university career. Scholarship Ambassadors also feature in publications and
contribute to the Division¿s online presence, through the Philanthropy Blog and
social media. Through these many efforts, Scholarship Ambassadors encourage
others to support scholarships for students just like them.

The role equips students with excellent communication skills; they must be able
to speak to senior donors and prospects to the university as well as have good
writing skills to populate online content. Students must demonstrate reliability
and punctuality. Vitally, the students must be able to speak with passion and
integrity about their scholarship to encourage prospects to donate to the
university

As well as engaging with their mentees as outlined above, we encourage

many of our mentors to facilitate additional opportunities for their
mentees including work shadowing, work experience, mock interviews and
more.

We integrate specific streams for students from particular target groups

(disabled, LGBT, International, BME) who may have additional issues

The Global Graduates Programme is an employability programme for
undergraduate students across The University of Manchester. Selected
students are sent on week-long visits in the summer vacation to a global
city as part of a small group.

Students visit a global city to meet with a range of host organisations,

alumni and representatives to learn more about their businesses, roles,
opportunities and their cities. They also consider the economic climate,
working culture, business practices and areas for future growth.
Participants play an ambassadorial role for The University of Manchester
and share information about key developments for the institution.

The programme offers participants the opportunity both to practice and

develop their existing skills, to start building their professional networks
and to increase their understanding of their own employability. Careers Service

The Sustainability Challenge is part of the Ethical Grand Challenges

Programme and the first opportunity takes place in Welcome Week.
The Challenge is unique to the University of Manchester and is
based on University of Manchester research. The Challenge itself is
a 2.5-hour simulation exercise which involves students working in
interdisciplinary groups to consider the challenges arising from a
new major construction project – a new campus for the
The Sustainability Challe hypothetical ‘University of Millchester’. Students must take into
account a complex mix of environmental, social and economic
factors in agreeing their recommendations.

The Sustainability Challenge provides students with an insight into

the complexity of sustainability as well as helping them to develop
their skills in problem solving, presentations, time management,
negotiation, decision making and group work.
00000096 Team Uganda
Volunteering Project
Team Uganda is the University’s flagship international volunteering
opportunity. Students are selected as part of a team and spend a
month in Uganda with a partner NGO, S.A.L.V.E. International, who
support children living on the streets. Students complete 150+
hours of volunteering and work on a specific project during their
stay. These include community-based research, developing SALVE’s
facilities and resources or giving the children a chance to learn and
reach their full potential.
One criteria for involvement in the project is for each student to
commit to fundraising for the partner NGO leading up to the trip.
Students who take part demonstrate planning, resilience and team
working skills. The project gives them the opportunity to work
outside their comfort zone, broaden their cultural understanding
and develop a greater sense of social responsibility, learning more
about international development issues whilst working to benefit
some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
