Swansea in India
In May the alumni team went to India for an opportunity to catch up with our Alumni there. We had fantastic events in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. We were delighted to have the opportunity to talk with Megha and Geetanjali who are willing to help us further develop the alumni network in India.
SWANSEA IN LONDON
Back in September we took some of our academic researchers up to London for our alumni social event, “There is something in the seaweed”. Our researchers talked about turtle conservation; how they are using micro-algaes for carbon capture; and how they are using alginates in the process for heat capture and storage. It was a fascinating evening that also provided a great opportunity for networking with alumni based in London.
SWANSEA UNIVERSITY SWANSEA HALF MARATHON
Swansea University staff, students and alumni took part in the Swansea Half Marathon for the second year in a row, raising over £20,000 for our Making Strides for Mental Health campaign. Honorary Fellows Ryan Jones and Lowri Morgan supported Team Swansea, giving a motivational team talk pre-race. Post-race, our runners were invited back to the National Waterfront Museum to hear the fundraising total, graze on doughnuts and sip some celebratory prosecco!
