A launch to remember
2025 kicked off in style with a fantastic launch party hosted by our Indonesia alumni group. The event was led by Group President Andrew Sutedja and joined by Dr Malcolm Butler, Sheffield’s Vice-President and Director of International, alongside Summer Xia, British Council Country Director for Indonesia.
Ending the year just as strongly as it began, the Indonesia group came together once again for a special celebration in Jakarta. This time, the event featured a panel discussion with a selection of distinguished guest speakers, moderated by podcaster, journalist and Sheffield alum Rory Asyari.
Egypt followed Indonesia’s lead with a cosy get-together for their very first reunion. The event took place in the emblematic city of Cairo and was hosted by Egypt Alumni Group Lead Radwa Mahmoud, with Kristina Burns, International Recruitment Manager for the Middle East & North Africa, also in attendance.
Our Taiwan alumni group also joined the celebrations, marking their official recognition by Sheffield in 2025 at the Viva Britannia Ball in Taipei. The event was proudly supported by Taiwan Alumni Group Lead Samuel Yang.
In addition to these special inaugural events, our established alumni groups around the world stayed active throughout 2025. Sheffield alumni hosted events in China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, the USA, Canada, and Mexico, with even more planned for 2026!
These gatherings are more than just social events, they’re a vibrant showcase of the Sheffield spirit. Each group proudly represents the University, sharing its achievements in research, fundraising, engagement, and innovation, while creating lasting connections and inspiring the next generation of alumni.
