We would also like to receive news
from you (with web links) that I can circulate to the

items link you back to the alumni web site at www.open.ac.uk/oubs-alumni
where you will also find the news site, events listings
as well as the on-line membership directory. If you are
not there it is probably because you have not opted in

protections reasons. Email oubs-alumni@open.ac.uk
