Linked In

If you are a graduate of The University of Western Australia, we would like you to join our LinkedIn group.

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is a networking tool that has been set up to provide the UWA Graduates a means of communicating with other professionals. It also gives you the opportunity to create opinion groups, see what people are up to and also find out what is happening in Convocation, The UWA Graduates Association. LinkedIn is used by professionals to create new business opportunities, find jobs and enhance their careers.

How do I join?

When you join, you create a profile that summarises your professional accomplishments. You will then need to find the UWA Graduates Association membership site and ask to receive permission from the Convocation Office to become a member. Simply click on the link and send an email asking to become a member. Don't forget to let us know your full name and student number if you can remember it.

What happens then?

You will be accepted into the UWA Convocation LinkedIn group (if you are a graduate) and then will have access to information and other graduates details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Can Group members get spammed, or send spam, to other members of the group?

No. LinkedIn Groups is designed specifically for the individual and not as a group wide communications tool. Therefore, there is no way for an individual user to send broadcast messages to all members of the group.

Will members be able to contact fellow group members?

Generally, yes. Each member of a group decides how fellow group members can contact him/her. Since group members share an affinity and are usually open to interacting with fellow group members, most LinkedIn users allow fellow group members to contact one another without referral. This is a setting that each group member can control and change according to their preferences from his/her homepage.

Who can see a Group member in the system?

Once you join your group on LinkedIn, your profile becomes visible to all fellow members. However, they will not be able to see your network of connections unless you are personally connected to them (via an accepted personal invitation).
