If you are a member we would be delighted to invite you to the next Statutory Meeting of the General Council and exclusive alumni May Festival event – Aberdeen Humanities – The Future of our Past on Saturday 30 May at 2pm in King's College Conference Centre, University of Aberdeen.

This promises to be a fascinating exploration into the value of the humanities, the leading research environment of the University, and the rich heritage of our collections.
Following the meeting we would be delighted if you could join our panel, fellow graduates and members of the General Council for afternoon tea in the James MacKay Hall from 3pm.
