The University of Greenwich has relaunched Greenwich Snapshots, celebrating the journeys and achievements of alumni and showcasing the many paths graduates take after their studies.
Every graduate carries a story, and the Greenwich community is full of them. Through Greenwich Snapshots, alumni share short reflections on their time at the university. These include the moments that challenged them, the experiences that shaped them, and how their studies helped set them in their professional ambitions and personal growth. Together, these stories paint a picture of a community that is as diverse as it is driven.
For anyone wondering where your fellow alumni go on to or what life at Greenwich might be like for a recent graduate, start here at our Greenwich Snapshots. These are real voices from real people and their candid and honest accounts of growth and life after graduation serves an inspiration. We hope that this resonates with our alumni community and the next generation of students finding their feet.
Meet the SnapSTARS
As part of the relaunch, the university is introducing SnapSTARs, a group of alumni whose stories stood out through their Snapshot submissions. These graduates were invited to take part in extended interviews and a photoshoot on campus, creating profiles that explore both their time at Greenwich and the careers they have built since graduating.
The first group of SnapSTARs represents a wide range of industries including film, law, healthcare, marketing, technology and research. Their paths are different, but the thread connecting them is the same: a Greenwich education that gave them something to build on.
