Our Young Stanners Society brings together St Anne’s students who have graduated within the last 10 years. The Society helps these most recent alumnae stay in touch with their friends and peers, as well as providing specific events, networking opportunities and communications. The Young Stanners Society will complement the work and events held by the College and our wider St Anne’s Society (SAS) – which every St Anne’s student becomes a part of when joining St Anne’s.
Members of the Society will receive:
- Priority access and free entry to the two annual Young Stanners networking drinks in London and Oxford.
- Priority access to other specific sector events or networking sessions, for example in Law or Finance, run in conjunction with other Young Stanners in those sectors.
- Information about and a discounted rate (at least 10%) to the wider College events programme.
How to Join the Young Stanners
By setting up and continuing a regular gift of £5 (or more) per month to the Young Stanners Fund you will become a member of the Young Stanners Society. The Young Stanners Fund will contribute to all areas of College life, including bursaries, hardship grants, welfare, teaching, clubs and societies. You may well have benefited from some of these areas during your time at St Anne’s, and by supporting the fund in this way, you will help make a difference to the next generation of Stanners. You can set up a new regular gift here:
