It was a pleasure to welcome Jon and his alumni group back to campus for a special reunion visit celebrating 35 years since graduation!

The group enjoyed a guided tour around campus, revisited their old engineering lecture theatres, explored our alumni merchandise, and heard about the exciting developments shaping the campus today.

Our visitors represented a fantastic mix of disciplines and graduating cohorts, including Engineering and Medicine having graduated between 1991 and 1995.

They travelled from far and wide to join us Southport, Northampton, Derby, Rugby, and Ipswich proving that once you’re part of the alumni community, distance doesn’t matter.

A huge thank you to Jon and everyone in the group for making the journey back and for sharing memories of their time here. We loved hosting you and hope to welcome you back again soon!
