Year Representatives

The Year Representatives play a vital role in keeping the UWC Red Cross Nordic alumni community engaged and connected.

Acting as the link between their graduating class and the college, Year Representatives help foster a sense of community long after students have left the fjords of Norway.

Each graduating class nominates two or three Year Representatives whose role is to act as a link between the graduating class and the College. The role is important in keeping the year group connected after their time at UWC Red Cross Nordic, not least through the planning of upcoming reunions, which are among the highlights of the year.

Role of the Year Representatives

Communication

Serving as a point of contact for their class, they keep alumni informed about UWC Red Cross Nordic updates, events, and opportunities to get involved through newsletters, social media, and other platforms.

Organizing Reunions

Year Representatives help coordinate class Reunions, whether they’re small, informal gatherings or larger, more formal events. These Reunions give classmates the chance to reconnect and relive their UWC experiences.

Supporting Classmates

Beyond events, Year Representatives help maintain connections by being a resource for alumni looking to reach out to old friends, offering guidance, and promoting initiatives that strengthen the community.

Feedback to UWC Red Cross Nordic

Year Representatives act as the voice of their class, relaying feedback to the college and sharing alumni perspectives on various initiatives and programmes.
