In November, University of the Arts London travelled to Toronto, Canada to celebrate our creative graduate community.

Guests heard from James Purnell, UAL President and Vice-Chancellor, who welcomed them to the first alumni event in the city in over 3 years.

Hosted at the ACE Hotel, UAL graduates had the chance to network and meet the alumni volunteers in Canada, led by Jess Gill, as well as members of the alumni team. They also had the chance to have their head shots taken by a professional photographer.
