We are delighted to announce that the Winter 2015 edition of KENT Alumni Magazine is now available online.
If you are a member of staff who is also a Kent alumnus, we’d be very grateful if you could confirm this by sending us a quick email (alumni@kent.ac.uk ), so that we are able to ensure our records are correctly updated. As you are a staff member, we have not sent a hard copy of the magazine to you, however we would be more than happy to forward you one in the internal mail if you would like – just let us know, and we will send one across to you. Alternatively, if you fancy a stroll, the magazine is also available in the Rutherford Annex foyer, as well as in the Registry and college receptions, so feel free to help yourself!
This edition of the magazine looks back on the 50th anniversary celebrations which were held over the past year, and reflects on the amazing events and reunions that have taken place with alumni around the world. If you weren’t lucky enough to come to 50th Festival on 4-6 September, have no fear – you can find out all about the Festival’s highlights!
Kent’s first Contract Manager gives us an insight into how it felt to take on the mammoth task of building a campus from scratch back in 1964 and our commemorative anniversary ‘We Are Kent’ poem, a poetry patchwork masterpiece created from the words of alumni, students, staff and friends of the University, will be sure to tug at your heartstrings.
If you have any comments on the magazine, or have stories or photographs which you would like to share, we would love to hear from you so please get in touch (alumni@kent.ac.uk)!
Happy reading!
