Rhubarb 2020

ST EDWARD’S r h u b a r b

ALUMNET We now have over 1000 OSE using this platform and it has been wonderful to see old friends reconnecting with each other as well as new relationships develop. The content is personalised so you only receive messages that are relevant to you. 2019 saw the launch of our new social media platform Alumnet. https://get.alumnet.social/stedwardsoxford

You can use the ‘Circles’ to find people with similar interests and those who work in a similar industry. You can join as many Circles as you like which interest you - from OSE Cricket, to Consulting to Classic Cars- a great way to meet like- minded OSE and reading tailored articles related to that Circle.

Alumnet is also a great way to create and get involved in events – whether it is a book club, a sporting challenge or just a social drink with friends. As lockdown eases, do look out for new events on Alumnet. Alumnet is also full of engaging and interesting articles including Top Tips for Public Speaking by the Director of Speaker Coaching at TED.

Read some of our interviews with OSE – Teddies Talks - we have recently featured OSE who are working in the medical and property industry - including top tips and useful advice. Details of Martyrs’ sports matches and events are promoted on Alumnet including training sessions, matches and social get-togethers. Find the ‘Circle’ specific to your sport and find out how to get involved. There are a number of galleries now on Alumnet – see you if you can spot yourself in some of our archive photo galleries!

Plus recipes in our ‘Rhubarb Fool Recipe Circle’ and cute pets in our ‘Pets Corner’, there is something for everyone!

How to join It’s easy to set up an account. Just to go to https://get.alumnet.social/ stedwardsoxford or use the QR code below: It is now also available as an app. Simply go to the App Store, type in ‘Alumnet’ and download, to get event updates, messages and recent photos direct on your phone.

Connecting and networking in a digital age is becoming increasingly important as applications for jobs become more competitive.
