The ANU College of Business and Economics (CBE) is delighted to introduce the CBE Canberra Alumni Network (CBE CAN) – a dynamic, new, alumni-led group aimed at connecting, supporting, and empowering Canberra-based current students and graduates of the College.
CBE CAN endeavours to offer its members the opportunity to share and learn from one another, as well as reconnect with the University and its various initiatives. It also looks to support members by providing professional-development and networking opportunities, and celebrating the achievements of other fellow alumni.
Led by an executive body, CBE CAN’s vision is to develop and maintain an active and passionate community of CBE alumni in support of The Australian National University (ANU) and each other. A University Liaison, who connects members with key academics, alumni and students, supports the network, and helps foster opportunities for further engagement and professional development.
Meet the CBE CAN executive:
