Quad Conversations

Quad Conversations is a program that matches participating alumni from the University of Sydney with each other, regardless of their school, faculty, or graduating year. It's an opportunity for alumni to connect, learn, and build a strong community.

Alumni who register their interest in Quad Conversations will be paired with a fellow graduate using their preferred email address.

We’ll do the initial introductions, and then it’s over to each pair to organise a time and place to connect (virtually or in person).

The pairs then have the opportunity to engage in conversations, share knowledge and skills, and build connections.

All University of Sydney alumni are encouraged to participate, regardless of their location (interstate or international) or graduation year.

Quad Conversations can take place through various platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, Zoom calls, WeChat or in-person.  

We recommend participants can use the technology they are most comfortable with.

Quad Conversations foster connections and relationships among alumni, creating a more interconnected and supportive community that extends beyond traditional networks.

Participants are matched at random, ensuring a diverse range of connections across different schools, faculties, and graduating years. 

No, the matching process is random to encourage diverse connections. This ensures a broader range of perspectives and experiences.

As a participant you can choose how often you would like to participate in Quad Conversations. We recommend each quarter to gain the most out of the experience. 

Each time you would like to be paired up with a fellow alum, complete the EOI form here.

The time commitment is flexible and determined by the participants. It could be a one-time conversation or an ongoing engagement, depending on mutual preferences.

We’d love to hear how it went. Please complete the Post Quad Conversations survey here. 

If you have any photos/videos from your Quad Conversation that you would like to share, please share on your socials using the hashtag #USYDAlumni.

While we suggest the first meeting be virtual, if you and your fellow alum would like to meet in person, you are more than welcome to.

For your safety, we suggest you meet in a public location (e.g. at the University of Sydney, a restaurant, coffee shop, etc).
