Suffolk College Reunited Launch - 20 April 2004

Wednesday 21 April 2004 will see the official launch of a new service for Suffolk and the wider community when Suffolk College Principal, Professor Dave Müller, installs Ugur Vata, a former Suffolk College student and well known and respected restaurateur, as the first President of Suffolk College Reunited. The ceremony will take place at 1245 in Board Room 2 of Suffolk College.

Suffolk College Reunited has been established to offer students and staff the opportunity to keep in touch not only with each other but also to have a continuing relationship with the College. It is part of the vision that its members draw on the advice and guidance services available as part of their life long learning plan.

The group will be run very much by and for the members. There is a discussion forum on the website where members can have their say as to the kinds of services and events they would like to see on offer, and the composition of the steering committee represents current and former cross-College interests.

Although the website has only been live for a short time there are already over a hundred members. The Suffolk College Reunited website provides the chance to catch up with old friends using new technology. Registration is free, easy and on-line at www.suffolk.ac.uk/reunited.
