The Dover College Association

When you leave Dover College, you automatically become part of the The Dover College Association. It is a truly global community that includes writers, film-makers, entrepreneurs and accomplished sportspeople. Welcome!

Whether you are about to commence further study, embark on adventures abroad, start your dream job or wind down your career, we encourage you to stay involved in the life of the College and stay connected to your fellow Old Dovorians. As well as alumni, The Dover College Association also includes current and former parents and staff, and other friends and supporters of the College. There are many ways to stay involved and give back.

The aim of the Dover College Association is to promote and strengthen former pupils’ links with each other and the school. We hold events throughout the year and are happy to help former students organise reunions or celebrations. We can also help with work placements and work experience, and continuing professional development.

Reunions, Gatherings and Events
If you’ve lost touch with the College, or know anyone who has, we’d love to hear from you. If you are looking for an easy way to stay in touch or to find someone you have lost contact with, take a look at our directory of ODs.

OD News 
We are always pleased to share your news with the school and OD community. You can tell us about anything you like. To share news, please contact me or phone 01304 205969.

Visiting the School
We never close the door on former students and you are always welcome to come back and visit us during term time. Feel free to bring your family too. You will be made to feel at home again and we will happily give you a tour of the school to bring back all those memories. Much will be familiar, but there are new developments too. To arrange a visit please contact Mike Vanderhoeven or me.

Careers
Sharing your experience, advice and help with our current pupils or recent leavers is always appreciated. We regularly welcome back ODs to impart their knowledge and inspire the next generation. To get involved in careers talks, events, or to offer work experience or mentoring please email Marissa Hedley.

OD Obituaries
We would be honoured to publish an obituary for any former pupil, staff, or friend of Dover College. To tell us of any bereavement please contact Mike Vanderhoeven.

Support
We are happy to discuss development plans, bursaries, and improvements to the College. If you would like to donate, or help in any way, please contact me. You can make a donation to support the College here.
