News and events from the Alumni Association
We wish you all a bright and sunny spring!
With London 2012 looming, what better way to usher it in than to focus on sports achievements for our oral history topic, Bygone Brighton? Did you play sports at university? Were your team mates your best friends? Do you still play now? Perhaps you wore some bizarre kit or have some photos of yourselves in action. Please contact memories@brighton.ac.uk with your anecdotes and pictures. We love to hear from you.
For some of our students, our hardship funds make the difference between graduating or watching all their work go to waste. We have just circulated an appeal outlining the student hardship funds and the need to create more of these. For more information, please contact giving@brighton.ac.uk.
If you graduated in February 2012, this request is just for you. Please could you tell us what you thought about your graduation brochure by completing this short survey.
