Earlier this week, our Sports department hosted a brilliant community day in collaboration with StreetGames at our Cochrane Park facility. ⚽

The event welcomed 480 local children and featured a team of our own students and interns running sessions, alongside sports organisations including the LTA - Tennis For Britain, Team GB and Newcastle Rugby Foundation.

The event gave children the opportunity to try different sports and take part in a range of skills sessions, and brought together a collection of organisations from the North East, such as The Key, Science at Life and Newcastle United Foundation. 🎉

You might have seen some of the 96 Peter Rabbit sculptures taking over the Toon, but did you know some were designed by a Newcastle medical graduate?

Class of 2007 graduate Joseph Mulroy created two of the beautiful bunnies found on the Quayside: Tyne-tastic Peter and Penny Hopper 👏

Having studied to become a doctor on campus, today Joseph (aka Arty Joe) is a GP and professional landscape artist based in Whitley Bay 🎨

Have you been to the Laing Art Gallery recently? Did you know a group of our staff and students have developed a new tour of some of their most celebrated exhibits?

The self-guided tour invites visitors to uncover ecological themes and issues in the selected work from the Gallery’s collection.

It gives an insight into the industrial history of Newcastle and its environmental impacts and many of the works are from artists with connections to Newcastle and the wider North East.
