A rather special Memory Lane as one of our video team sat down with his grandad and Nottingham alumnus Philip Shakesheff (Industrial Economics, 1969).
Philip recalls what life was like on campus over 50 years ago; sharing his memories of his time in halls, his 'tutorials', 'Rag Week' activities (including building the floats which were driven into Nottingham city centre) and the perambulator race around University Park!
He also shares what is was like watching the first moon landing in a packed Portland Building back in 1969.
Whatever your memory, we would love to hear it - and it could appear on these pages! Email alumni-enquiries@nottingham.ac.uk and put 'Memory Lane' in the subject line.
For our second Nottingham Ambition Giving Day, we’ve found inspiration in our university motto: 'Sapientia Urbs Conditur', 'A city built on wisdom'. But what's in our motto's name? We asked Professor of Classics, Helen Lovatt, to look into the origins of the university's motto and its historical significance.
This month we welcomed over 150 graduates from 1970-72 back to campus for their Golden Reunion. Among the guests was Graham Harris (Electrical Engineering, 1972) who has shared with us a few choice images from his time here as a student.
