Welcome to Ulster Alumni Online
Ulster Alumni Online has been designed to enable us to keep in touch with our graduates, former staff members and friends.
Of course getting, and keeping, in touch with past classmates is something many graduates do all the time, but there is so much more we can offer. We hope Ulster Alumni Online will be a vibrant, growing community. Please take a moment to look around the site and see for yourself.

Executive Committee
The work of the Alumni Relations Office is supported by an executive committee drawn from and elected by members of the Association, (i.e. you!). It meets on a regular basis and helps drive forward the activities designed to keep our graduates connected with the University. Why not get involved?
A programme of reunions, events and opportunities for networking extends to Ulster graduates worldwide and the website enables you to maintain lasting friendships. If you can suggest ways in which you would like the Association to develop, organise a reunion or make a donation to the University’s development fund please contact the Alumni Relations Office.
I look forward to meeting many of you during my term as Chair.
Best wishes,
Anne Rowe
First Trust Bank/Distinguished Graduate of the Year
Kyle McCallan, MBE, BA Sports Studies 1998, PGCE 2001 has been made First Trust Bank/University of Ulster Distinguished Graduate of the Year. Kyle has had a long and distinguished career as an Irish senior international cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and off spin bowler.
He has represented Ulster (Northern Cricket Union) and Ireland at every age group level, from under 13 to senior international level. He has been capped more times by the Ireland senior cricket team than any other player in history.
Following his debut in 1996 he went on to represent Ireland in the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the 2000, 2002 and 2004 European Championships, captaining the team during the Championships in 2000.
The highlight of his career however, was representing Ireland at the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies in which Ireland qualified for the Super 8 stage – beating Pakistan and Bangladesh along the way – to finish in eighth place in a 16-team tournament. Kyle was an integral part of the team and played in all the matches in the World Cup and in all of Ireland's one day international matches until he retired. Kyle also played in the T20 World Cup in England in 2009, again reaching the Super 8 stage.
As a student, Kyle captained the University team to victory in the Irish University Cricket competition. Kyle also represented the University in rugby and played in the annual Colours Match against QUB. Kyle was the recipient of the University’s Performance Sports Scholarship for the duration of his studies.
He announced his retirement from international cricket in December 2009, after a record 226 caps. He also captained Ireland a record 54 times.
Kyle is a teacher at Grosvenor Grammar School and was awarded an MBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours List for services to cricket in Northern Ireland.
