October 2013 | Alumni Profiles
Passion unites this month's profiles as we chat to five alumni who are driven by their passion for sport, education, teaching, charity work and design.
We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.
Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.
