Alumni & friends
If you studied or worked at SRUC, SAC (previously the North, West and East of Scotland Agricultural Colleges), Barony College, Elmwood College, or Oatridge College – we welcome you to the SRUC Alumni Community.
SRUC’s alumni community is a vibrant, talented and diverse group of former students.
SRUC people have the courage and commitment that inspires them to make a difference and drive forward their respective industries.
We're keen to highlight the significant role many of our people are playing on national and global stages – tackling some of the most difficult and complex issues we face as a society, such as climate change, biodiversity and food security. It’s something in which we all have a role to play, especially SRUC alumni – as the practitioners, innovators and leaders of the natural economy.
From our new graduates, ready to make their own way in their chosen careers, to our retirees – we hope you remain connected as part of the SRUC alumni community for lifelong education, training and fellowship.
