Alumni day

To mark the network’s first birthday, we invite all LSM graduates, students and staff to our first alumni day.  It’s scheduled for November 10, in the new enterprise@lincoln building on the Brayford campus.

enterprise@lincolnMany of you have told us how much you would like to come back to meet up in Lincoln, so here’s your chance.

The fun starts at 1 pm. There will be a Question Time session, when an audience get to quiz an alumni panel, informal drop-in sessions where students and graduates can chat in confidence, a tour of the media building to see the latest developments, and plenty of time to socialise. And you are welcome to take photographs, video or audio clips – especially if you can share them with us.

If you would like to come along, either to be a Question Time panelist, or to take part in the drop-in sessions, or just to be there, please contact us as soon as possible so we can get an idea of how many we need to accommodate on the day.
