Development & Alumni Events

Commerce Alumni dinners

During 2006 Commerce Alumni will be hosting a series of informal dinners where we get small groups of graduates together, mixing with old and new friends from commerce and business studies at the University of Adelaide. Dinner places are limited and thus filled by invitation, but are open to all members who express an interest in attending.
