Staff members at Santander Universities have played an important role in supporting the Kent Law Campaign Student Group fundraising activities and initiatives as well as taking part in their own personal challenges such as bungee jumping and taking part in the Canterbury Legal Walk.
Throughout the 2014/15 academic year Adam Baker, Sam Winstanley, Sahar Habibmohammadi and Thomas Smith have helped raise a significant amount of money for the Campaign. Their commitment has been recognised by Santander Foundation who, for the second year running, matched their fundraising total pound for pound through their Staff Matched Donation Scheme. Therefore on behalf of the University of Kent we would like to thank Santander UK for donating £3,458.75 towards the Kent Law Campaign and supporting us once more.
Hilary Edridge (Head of Campaigns), Felicity Clifford (Campaigns Officer) and members of the Kent Law Campaign Student Group were delighted to receive a giant cheque from Adam, Sahar and Thomas on Thursday 26th November. Including the University’s match their generosity becomes £6,917.50 towards our vital work.

Professor Ray Laurence, from the Department of Classical & Archaeological Studies, will feature on BBC Radio 4’s Ancient Ways With Bettany Hughes on Friday 4 December 2016 at 11.00.
Bettany Hughes is a broadcaster and writer. In the programme, Bettany follows the ancient Roman road to Istanbul, tracing its route through Albania, Macedonia and Greece, exploring how the Egnatian Way helped to shape Europe and the Middle East. In the first episode, she journeys from the Adriatic shores of Albania to the Macedonian plain where Alexander The Great grew up.
Ray was interviewed for the programme on the contribution of Roman roads in the on-going definition of the geography of Europe, migration in the Roman Empire much higher than the levels experienced in Europe today as well as Cicero’s exile in Thessaloniki.
The series consists of three episodes, and will be found on the BBC’s iPlayer.
