Teams and roles for Tj Rawlinson
Director
Development and Alumni Relations
Overview
As Director of Development and Alumni Relations, I help alumni and friends to engage with - and support - Cardiff University.
My team and I work in partnership with both academic and professional colleagues from across the University, and with alumni and friends who are active volunteers, advisors and supporters.
Together, we focus on communication, cynefin and community. Cardiff's alumni and supporters are powerful forces for good here in Cardiff, in Wales, and globally - and we hope to inspire and harness even more of that force.
We encourage alumni and friends to stay informed about and connected to the University; to attend events; to join us in advisory roles; and to provide philanthropic support for current students and for world-changing research.
Most of all, we enjoy connections. Please get in touch!
