Over 1,000 members of staff attended this year’s staff party which took place on Friday 22 July.

Based around the Rio Olympics, the party brought the sights and sounds of Latin America to Highfield Campus. Kicking off the summer celebrations, President and Vice-Chancellor Sir Christopher said:

I am so pleased this party, a legacy of our 60th anniversary celebrations in 2012, has become an annual event and continues to grow in popularity. This is a unique opportunity for the staff community to congregate together and connect with old friends and current colleagues away from our usual work spaces.
