Help Shape Our New 'Chosen by Alumni' Merchandise Collection

Durham alumni know better than anyone which pieces of merchandise best capture their connection to the University. That's why we're inviting our global alumni community to help create a new Chosen by Alumni collection in the Durham University online store. 

We've shortlisted a range of favourite items, from clothing and accessories to gifts and everyday essentials, and now it's over to you. 

Over the coming weeks, alumni will be able to vote for the products they would most like to wear, use or gift. The most popular items will earn a place in our new Chosen by Alumni collection, showcasing the products most loved by Durham graduates. 

Whether it's a classic hoodie that reminds you of your student days, a favourite mug for your morning coffee, or a practical tote bag that travels everywhere with you, we want to know which items stand out for you. 

How to get involved 

We'll be running a series of polls and head-to-head matches on Instagram to find Durham's most-loved merchandise.

If you don't want to vote on our Instagram polls, you can also complete the form below.

Simply cast your vote and help decide which products make it into the final collection. 

A random voter who completes the form will be selected to win an item from the merchandise range. 

Voting closes 4pm on Monday 16 November.

Why we're doing this

The Durham alumni community spans generations and continents, and we're proud that so many graduates continue to celebrate their connection to Durham long after graduation. 

The Chosen by Alumni collection is an opportunity to put alumni voices at the heart of our retail offer and highlight the products that resonate most with our community. 

Once voting has closed, we'll reveal the winning items and launch the collection in our online store. 

Stay tuned to find out which products earn the title of Chosen by Alumni.
