Friends and colleagues of Professor Diane Houston will be gathering at the Colyer Fergusson building this afternoon at 4pm.  Professor Houston is leaving after 28 years of service to the University of Kent, to take up her new position as Pro Vice Master at Birkbeck, University of London.  She established the Graduate School here, and has overseen its development to what we are today.  We wish her all the very best for the future.
