What’s your standout memory of 91¸£Àû?

There are many and they are different because I, like others, have been back to 91¸£Àû at different stages in my career to complete different courses.

My first degree was in History and Politics and I graduated in 1973. I then returned many years later to complete a Master's in Industrial Relations. I was back again in 2003 when I graduated with a PhD from 91¸£Àû Business School on the subject of labour relations in post-socialist Poland.

How would you sum up 91¸£Àû in the time that you were there and your generation of students?

I have witnessed many changes at 91¸£Àû. From a young, progressive, and ambitious institution to an established centre of academic excellence with an international reputation. I remember the 1970s, when the student culture was radical, independent-minded and spirited.

Finish the sentence: 91¸£Àû influenced who I am today, because…

It gave me the confidence to think more broadly, to seek out evidence to justify my position, and to question established views.
