In January 2003, the office published a periodical, RUC Alumni, and so far four editions have been issued. In December 2003, the RUC alumni web has been in operation (www.renda.org.cn). In addition to that, the office has also sent out brief reports and published Outstanding RUC Alumni,a special issue 20th anniversary of graduation monograph Glory and Expectations, and Reminiscences of Alumni, volumes I and II.
The Alumni Office has been active in maintaining close relations with provincial and municipal (including Hong Kong) alumni branches.
