This month, we look back on some of the exciting changes that have recently been made at the University and look forward to the campus festivities coming up in the next two months.

Last week, the University launched the Institute for Learning, Innovation and Development (ILIaD), bringing together colleagues who are passionate about excellence in education. Find out about joining the ILIaD community in this video and on their website.

With the festive season fast approaching, Southampton alumnus and Chief Executive of Ministry of Sound, Lohan Presencer, will switch on our Christmas lights on 27 November.

Alternatively bring your children to A Family Christmas on Campus on 16 December – including fireworks, children’s entertainers and a chance to meet Santa in his grotto.
