Alumni
2021
TANGLIN ALUMNI EVENTS Despite the pandemic and COVID restrictions, our Alumni team has been hard at work behind the scenes—bringing together Tanglin’s former students from all over the UK in various gatherings that allow them to reconnect, reminisce over old times and have fun. Cecilia Handel, Director of Development, gives us the lowdown on these reunions.

fter missing out on hosting Alumni events in 2020 due to Covid-19, the Alumni Team was delighted to host not just one, but six Alumni gatherings in the UK and one in New York City this year. From 7 to 14 October 2021, we hosted events in Durham, Edinburgh, Bath, Exeter, London (2 events for two different age groups) and New York City. Alumni across the cohorts, former staff (both Faculty and Business Support) and Chair of Governors, Dominic Nixon, joined the various events. Some had not met each other for many years, whilst younger Alumni came together after missing out on not seeing each other due to Covid-19 restrictions this past year. Several former parents also attended these events. We were also able to acknowledge past winners of the Alumni of the Year 2020 at our event and showcase the many opportunities available to Alumni such as Grants and Awards. Everyone also received a Tanglin Alumni decal, made especially for these events. These events brought together over 200 Alumni. Our thanks to all Alumni for joining us, we can’t wait to see you next year!
