Alumni noticeboard: May 2019

Since the last e-newsletter, Henry Barden and Bart Smith got in touch with some updates.

Henry BardenĀ (Eliot, 2011: Electronic And Communications Engineering)

The Kent Falcon American Football alumni game took place on Saturday 4 May with alumni from different years coming back to join current Kent Falcons for a game. Henry Barden (pictured) was one of the alumni who came back to campus for the game. Henry studied Electronic and Communications Engineering graduating in 2017 and now works as a Design Engineer in Margate. He is still in touch with many of his teammates. It was wonderful to see former Kent Falcons back on campus. There is an Alumni Football Reunion planned for Saturday 6 July from 15.00. If you would like to join fellow football players on campus in July or would like to organise a sport reunion of your own please get in touch with us at alumni@kent.ac.uk
If you have any questions about studying and working in Engineering or want to find out more about American Football on campus you can contact Henry at Henry.Barden@rdds.co.uk
