You are a member of the Dunn School community even after you leave the department!

The Dunn School Alumni Network was set up to help former staff and students keep up with what is happening in the Dunn School, especially in the build up to our centenary in 2027. If you would like to sign up to the Dunn School Alumni Network, you can do so via this form. We will not email you more than once a term and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Have a question about this new network, a suggestion or would just like to get in touch? Do email us on alumni@path.ox.ac.uk

Ashley York (2010-14): The Dunn school is a fantastic place to be a graduate student and provides a supportive environment, both social and scientific, allowing students to flourish and develop into incredible scientists.
