Aword from

the Vice-Chancellor

I am approaching my third year as ViceChancellor at Bangor University and during my time in office we’ve already seen significant changes in Higher Education at a national level and also here at Bangor. Building has begun on our new Arts and Innovation Centre and we’re working closely with community groups on the project. We’re also looking further afield and increasing student recruitment from around the globe and investing in our facilities and services for international students.

We aim to provide our students with the best quality teaching, student experience and the skills needed to progress once they’ve graduated. The continued support of alumni, friends and donors is a major factor in improving our University. I always enjoy meeting our alumni, either in Bangor or elsewhere around the world, and acknowledge and appreciate the invaluable support that alumni provide to enhance the learning experience of current and future students and promoting Bangor University.

We’re very grateful to those of you who give to the University, either by supporting our Bangor Fund or through volunteering your time to support current students in ways such as helping to increase their employability beyond Bangor. Your contribution makes a significant difference.

As alumni, we hope that you feel proud of your connection with Bangor and continue to act as ambassadors for the University. Please keep in touch.

Bethan is responsible for maintaining relations with past students of Bangor University, including UCNW, Coleg Normal and St. Mary’s College, by arranging events and reunions, by working with alumni volunteers on projects and keeping alumni up-to-date with news from the University.

BANGORIAD BANGOR ALUMNI LAUNCH PET PROTECTION SERVICE

NEWS

Professor Catherine McKenna, Harvard Professor who is key in linking Bangor and Harvard University’s Welsh and Celtic Studies programmes Dr Gwyneth Lewis, Wales' National Poet from 2005-06 and the first writer to be given the Welsh laureateship John Sessions, actor and writer, and Bangor alumnus The Rt Hon Lord Barry Jones, a former MP for Alyn & Deeside, Coleg Normal graduate and government minister Bleddyn Wynn-Jones, plant collector and cultivator at Crûg Farm Nurseries in Caernarfon

Two science alumni have launched a unique DNA storage service for pet owners that can complement or replace micro-chipping.

Marine Biology graduates, Richard Storey and Daniel Struthers, who set up PetGen, believe they are the only company in the world dedicated to DNA extraction and storage for the purposes of pet security, identification and prevention of theft.

Their business idea came during Richard’s time studying for a Master’s degree in Ecology at Bangor. Whilst studying animal genetics, Richard realised that there was a gap in the market for a completely non-invasive method of pet identification.

Using a specially designed user-friendly kit, owners simply take a mouth swab from their pet, post it to PetGen where it is purified, treated for storage for up to 50 years and entered onto their database.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS

Pictured from left to right, Professor Catherine McKenna, John Sessions and Dr Gwyneth Lewis

BRYN TERFEL Bryn Terfel CBE was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Bangor University for his contribution to music in February.

Dr David Roberts, Bangor University’s Registrar said, “Bryn Terfel is arguably the greatest operatic singer Wales has ever produced, and his roots are firmly in North West Wales.

Bangor University is proud to honour an individual who has made such a remarkable contribution in the field of music – and in so doing he has become an outstanding ambassador for the region and for Wales.”

Bryn returned to Bangor in May to hold a special concert, sponsored by Quilter and Arts and Business Cymru, to mark the 100th anniversary of the University’s Prichard-Jones Hall. The internationally acclaimed star performed with seven recipients of the Bryn Terfel Foundation, set up to support young singers and performers at the beginning of their careers.

Bangor University is the ‘greenest’ University in Wales according to People and Planet, the largest student network in Britain campaigning to end world poverty, defend human rights and protect the environment. In the 2012 League table published in The Guardian, Bangor topped the league of Welsh Universities and moved from 28th to 19th in the UK wide table.

The University has also been awarded Level 5 of the Green Dragon Environmental Standard for its commitment to achieving continual environmental improvement.

Further information on Bangor’s commitment to all aspects of sustainability can be found on the University’s UniPlanet web page: www.bangor.ac.uk/sustainability Bryn Terfel (left) and the Vice-Chancellor

ENTERPRISE

BY DESIGN

Forty Bangor University students recently took part in the Enterprise

by Design competition in which the participants were challenged to design a product from conception to prototype. The students worked in groups and delivered pitches to a judging panel; the winning group received prize money to enable the development of their own innovative creation.

≤

This year’s brief was set by DMM, a Llanberis based company that designs and manufactures recreational climbing and mountaineering equipment. DMM invited the teams to ‘propose a product concept for children of climbers’.

The winning ‘Team Carnation’ was awarded £5,000 to develop their concept – a Facebook App called Eryri. The app which was designed as an online climbing tool, included a shared user experience with personalised content to record climbs, useful climbing safety information and an interactive and educational climbing video game.

JMJ’S NEW HOME Vice-Chancellor, Professor John G. Hughes, has officially opened the new Welsh John Morris-Jones hall on the Ffriddoedd site following its revamp. Bangor University staff and students celebrated the opening with singer Meinir Gwilym, a former Bangor University student, and the JMJ choir performing at the event.

Mair Rowlands, President of UMCB, said: “The JMJ hall exists for the benefit of the Welsh language and to allow students to live day to day through the medium of Welsh. The atmosphere in JMJ is priceless and the new developments will ensure that this atmosphere continues. I am very confident that the hall will attract even more Welsh speaking students to Bangor, following these improvements.”

BANGOR UNIVERSITY GOES MOBILE

BANGOR UNIVERSITY CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE

Bangor University is one of the first universities in the UK to launch a ‘mobile web’ site aimed at attracting new students and providing the basis for a range of new mobile web-based services for current staff and students.

It is the first multilingual mobile website supporting English, Welsh and Chinese speaking visitors and one of the first in the UK aimed specifically at potential students.

In collaboration with the China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing, the first Confucius Institute anywhere in the world to have a focus on Law has been officially opened at Bangor University. Confucius Institutes provide people all over the world the opportunities to learn about Chinese language and culture.

Smartphone users visiting www.bangor.ac.uk are automatically taken to the mobile site, but can opt to visit the full site if they wish.

The Vice-Chancellor of Bangor University, Professor John G. Hughes commented, "Chinese culture is playing an increasingly important role in regional and global economic development, and is making its presence felt in a variety of international arenas, including here in the North Wales region. The establishment of the Confucius Institute at Bangor University will provide a suitable base from which to help foster understanding of Chinese culture among the people of the region who, recent surveys show, are very interested in learning more about many different facets of Chinese culture."

WELSH LANGUAGE INITIATIVES WIN INSPIRE WALES AWARD Bangor University’s pioneering work in promoting and facilitating the use of Welsh in the workplace has been awarded an ‘Inspire Wales’ Award following its success in the ‘Bilingual Workplace’ category.

The University was nominated for the award on the basis of the broad range of activities that allows it to support a bilingual workplace.

Amongst those activities, particular reference was made to the services offered by Canolfan Bedwyr and the Cymorth Cymraeg website developed by the centre last year. Also highlighted was the bilingual provision in the field of staff development and IT services, the range of Welsh language courses at different levels available to staff and the host of Welsh medium modules that prepare students for working in a bilingual environment.

5 OUR AWARD WINNING STUDENTS’ UNION

INTERNATIONAL ACCLAIM FOR FOOD DUDES

Bangor University Students’ Union was recently named Union of the Year (non commercial) at the National Union of Students (NUS) Green Impact Awards.

Dr Pauline Horne and Professor Fergus Lowe of Bangor University have received an award from the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Analysis for their pioneering work on childhood obesity.

The NUS Green Impact Awards recognise the environmental work of students’ unions around the country. Bangor Students’ Union won their award for their wide range of environmental activity, from projects to help reduce the decline of the bumblebee that saw thousands of wild flowers planted in the Bangor area, to innovative recycling initiatives that aimed to collect old bras for re-use in other parts of the world.

Bangor Students’ Union work within the local community has also been rewarded with the ‘NUS Wales Award for Community Relations’.

Over the past year, Bangor Students’ Union has both supported a number of local events such as the World AIDS Day service in Bangor Cathedral and, through Student Volunteering Bangor, projects such as the ‘Beach Clean Project’ and ‘Sbectrwm’, where students work with children with learning disabilities.

ARTS COUNCIL OF WALES MAKES MAJOR AWARD TO PONTIO Pontio, the multi-million Arts and Innovation Centre in the heart of Bangor, has received a major funding boost of £3,250,000 from the Arts Council of Wales. Pontio, due to open in 2014, will become a cultural and economic power-house for the city and provide a fitting platform for the best of our home-grown companies.

The £44 million centre will include a flexible auditorium theatre with a capacity of up to 450 seats, cinema space, a studio theatre with seating of 120 and an outdoor performance space. It will offer a broad range of regional, national and international artistic events that will mark an innovative and imaginative new approach to arts provision.

The landmark building will house the new Students’ Union and will bring together the teaching of the arts and sciences and will provide cutting-edge facilities that will benefit the local community, businesses and University students.

At a time when obesity rates around the world are soaring, the Food Dudes Programme has won international acclaim for its success in influencing children to eat more fruit and vegetables and less junk food. The Programme's highly innovative approach draws on contemporary psychology and uses a range of media and reward systems to help children and their families learn to enjoy healthy diets.

It has been introduced nationally in Ireland, where more than 300,000 children and their families have already benefitted from it and, in the UK, it is currently being rolled out to 100,000 children in the Midlands and other regions. There are also successful projects running in Milan, Utah and California.

The Programme has also won recognition from many quarters, including an award from the World Health Organisation and the UK Chief Medical Officer's Gold Medal Award.

INVESTMENT IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING To recognise the outstanding performance of the School of Electronic Engineering in the most recent UK Research Assessment Exercise, and to recognise the importance of engineering in the Welsh economy, Bangor University has invested £2million in new equipment and staff at the School of Electronic Engineering.

The main undergraduate teaching laboratory has been completely renovated and refurbished.

Every student now has access to the latest Agilent Technologies digital storage oscilloscopes with colour LCD displays and 2GS/s sampling rate.

Students will also learn to use the latest computer controllable signal generators, power supplies and measurement systems in the refurbished facility.

The School is also investing in new staff, with an emphasis on enabling "green technologies" in power generation, control and instrumentation and signal processing.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS RATED The University has been given a significant vote of confidence in its management of academic quality and standards following a major ‘institutional review’ by the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education.

The result was a judgement of ‘Confidence’ in the soundness of the University’s “current and likely future management of the quality of student learning opportunities and of academic standards” and is a major boost to the University’s academic standing and profile.

The initial findings highlighted “features of good practice” including the Miles Dyslexia Centre, the Peer Guide scheme which introduces students to University life and Canolfan Bedwyr which enhances Welsh language provision.

A WORLD RANKED UNIVERSITY Bangor University has been placed among the world's top 300 Universities in The Times Higher Education World University rankings for 2012-13, alongside universities such as Bath and Queen's University Belfast.

“I’m delighted that the excellent research and teaching at Bangor is gaining global recognition.

Bangor provides education and research of high quality and makes a valuable contribution both regionally and on the wider stage,” commented Vice-Chancellor, Professor John G. Hughes.

World ranking is important to universities as student recruitment is increasingly a global marketplace. Around 3.7 million university students now study outside their home countries.

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION Bangor University has a long and distinguished history of teaching philosophy and religion.

The Department of Logic and Philosophy was established in 1886, while religion (under various guises) has been taught since 1898. Bangor University's new School of Philosophy and Religion is an innovative and expanding School which aims to cultivate the skills of debate and independent thinking. BA and MA modules and programmes cover many aspects of philosophy and religion, including The Enlightenment, Sacred Texts, Political Philosophy and Ethics.

& THE STUDENT

STUDENT FEES

EXPERIENCE An increase in tuition fees from September 2012 will enable the University to further increase its investment in facilities and services to improve the student experience.

Due to the changes in government funding and in line with other universities around the UK, Bangor University will charge Home/EU undergraduate and PGCE students £9,000 p.a. in tuition fees from this year.

This fee will enable the University to maintain and improve the services and facilities offered to students and continue to provide the highest quality teaching and give students an excellent University experience.

As part of the national changes in the tuition fees system, Bangor was required to produce a ‘fee plan’ which details how the University intended to invest its income. Bangor decided to do a number of things including: increasing the number of bursaries to students from low income backgrounds, investing in the student experience and enhancing the provision for student sport and recreation. In a pioneering move, the University has introduced free student membership of Students’ Union clubs and societies, and greater support for student volunteering activities and the development of employment-related skills.

Bangor is also investing to increase the opportunities for young people to go to university – particularly for those young people where there hasn’t been a family tradition of attending University in the past. The University’s Talent Opportunities Programme (TOP) works with schools in disadvantaged “Communities First” areas to raise educational aspirations and awareness of Higher Education amongst under-represented groups. The scheme helps to identify the pupils with the potential to succeed at university, and to develop their skills to prepare them for Higher Education. Bangor provides revision courses and other activities aimed at improving motivation and attainment in TOP schools.

The BEA brings together the University and the Students’ Union as well as private,

In common with other UK universities, the University contacts recent graduates to find out if you are in work, undertaking further study, taking a gap year or are still job-seeking.

You will be contacted by telephone or email.

For further information please visit: www.bangor.ac.uk/dlhe

Under the auspices of its new fee plan, staffing in areas such as student welfare and library support have been increased, with consideration being given to providing the maximum benefit to students across all disciplines and from all backgrounds. Professor Carol Tully has been appointed as Pro-Vice Chancellor for Students and Richard Bennett joined the University as the new Sport and Recreation Director earlier this year. These new posts will help to deliver some of the key objectives in the University’s Student Experience Enhancement Strategy.

New initiatives also include the launch of a Study Skills Centre and further development of the Bangor Employability Award, including increased provision for work experience and volunteering opportunities. There will also be increased capacity in the area of support for student health and well-being.

Bangor is also investing to increase the opportunities for young people to go to university

Bangor ViceChancellor Professor John G. Hughes said: “We are already investing heavily in the ambitious, multi-million pound Pontio development, which will include new teaching facilities as well as a theatre, cinema space and new Students’ Union, and these further initiatives will help ensure that students at Bangor continue to have a fantastic experience.”

bangor employability award The Bangor Employability Award (BEA) recognises undergraduate students’ experiences outside their academic studies and provides a core programme to enhance their personal development and career management skills. Following a two year pilot, the award was launched in all academic schools in September 2012.

public and voluntary sector organisations, to provide a flexible structure that enables students to build transferable skills through the recognition of participation in activities such as part-time work, volunteering, SU societies, sports clubs and co-curricular activities.

The BEA team welcome the input, endorsement and feedback of Bangor alumni - for further information visit: www.bangor.ac.uk/employability

As of September 2012, new students can take out a tuition fee loan to cover the new fees which they will only repay after they leave university and earn over £21,000.

Repayments will be made automatically and will be based on the individual’s level of income.

7 In 1969, a group of Bangor students made the national headlines as part of RAG week. David McCreadie (1970, Zoology with Marine Zoology) tells us about his efforts in the name of charity.

ARIPPING RAGWEEK YARN

“I was on the committee for RAG, the annual student-led fundraising push, in my 2nd year at Bangor. Back then the giant Panda was the RAG symbol “Pandemonium”.

A RAG stunt was traditional, but what would we do? My good friend John Coppock knew the area near Salisbury, and he suggested making a Panda in the chalk downs. Surely it couldn’t be too hard?

Another friend, Bob Lord, was an Electronics student and a computer whizz; his expertise would play a key role in this most adventurous of Pandemonium challenges!

Bob, John and I travelled down in my old Morris Traveller to conduct a reconnaissance and another 26 students volunteered to help as soon as we gave the plan the go ahead.

We decided on the best looking hill – a 1:3 in front of the main A303 Plymouth-London route.

The chalk however lay 4 feet 6 inches down – this was going to be no mean feat!

The very weary team headed back to Bangor in the bus, covered in chalk and mud. Bob, John and I dashed in the Moggie on our mission to Fleet St. The Telegraph lads were very helpful and developed and printed our photos and we then went to The Times and the tabloids.

We arrived back in Bangor to find the curved lounge swarming with police! They had found a wallet near the scene with a UCNW Students’ Union card in it! We all agreed to keep quiet about it even though the University’s solicitor got involved! Tension was mounting when suddenly it came on the 6 o’clock news. The refectory was packed and everyone was glued to the black and white televisions.

The ball of string kept running away downhill through a double barbed wire fence – there went my best Levi’s!

On a cold, late January night in 1969 we met up with the team in The Pheasant pub in Salisbury for the briefing and then, at around 6.30pm, we started marking out the shapes. The big ball of string we used to map the image of the panda from Bob’s computer projection kept running away downhill through a double barbed wire fence – there went my best Levi’s!

Pictured above top, Pandemonium Rag Mag cover 1969, and below image featured in The Times newspaper 1969.

were done. The pupil of the panda’s eye was 6 feet in diameter but we had no time to make the UCNW letters any bigger.

We laid the grid, joined the dots and removed the grid strings – all in the dark – then set about to dig off the turf in the rain. 2 feet… 3 feet… 4 feet… with seemingly no progress. The team were about to mutiny when someone picked a chunk of flint and the spark lit the hole; it was like finding snow in the bottom of the coal shed. The race was on – we filled bags with the chalk and slithered down the hill to back fill the cut out turf shapes the other team had been busy removing. By 6.30am, we

Of all the fields in all the land, we had dug one belonging to Sir Richard Hunt! Now we were worried; he was in the team that had conquered Everest with Hilary, Tensing and Sir Charles Evans, our UCNW Principal!

“Terrible Welsh students… trespass with intent…” was the view of the newscaster. “Good heavens, no,” was the answer from Sir Richard, “if I could find farm labourers that could work that hard overnight at the end of January on a one in three I’d be an even richer man – I think it’s marvellous!”

We returned 2 years later and renovated the rather mothy looking Panda. It was harder to do than the original, even in daylight, as the boundaries had slipped together.

We raised a lot of money for RAG that year, through other activities including a cast iron bed race from Rhyl to Upper Bangor, with a cask of ale from John Bull in the Globe for the winning team.

We also started the Menai Raft Race. Are today’s students as adventurous?!”

9 How is work on Pontio progressing?

The work on the Pontio project is progressing well. I’m having lots of creative discussions with artists, production companies, students and academics regarding opening programme possibilities. 2014 may seem like a long way away, but in artistic planning terms, it really is around the corner.

PONTIO Elen Ap Robert joined Bangor University as Pontio’s Artistic Director in April 2012. We asked Elen to tell us more about her new role and developments around the Arts and Innovation Centre, due to open in 2014.

How will the artistic programme make a difference to students’ time in Bangor?

The artistic programme will offer such a broad spectrum of experiences from regular film series to aerial circus spectacles, from stand up comedy to immersive theatre, from international world music groups and artists, to gigs and events with home-grown musical talents. There will be top quality entertainment but there will also be thought provoking events which bring science and the arts together in novel and innovative ways, and all of this in a brand new centre with bars and cafés to make people really want to hang out and spend time there.

But it’s not just about being a member of the audience, there will be opportunities for students to get involved in the programme content as well as participatory activities. It really will be the place to be and take part.

How can alumni get involved in the Pontio programme in the run up to the opening of the Arts and Innovation Centre and once it has opened?

We would be delighted if alumni got in touch with us in this interim period and beyond with programming ideas. We have recently run a participatory project with 11 schools of Bangor – collecting their Idea Seeds (HaDAsyniaDA) for the Centre. These are their hopes for the centre when it opens – and we’ve had some truly imaginative ideas: “a helipad for artists on the roof” and a “VIP room for kids”! We would be delighted to hear your Idea Seeds too – please send them in to us.

With the building work having started we have also decided that this is the perfect time to start thinking about a name for the building itself.

Pontio has always been regarded as the name of the project – the period of bridging between Theatr Gwynedd’s closing and the opening of the new Centre. So we are asking the local community, students, staff and alumni of course, to bring their suggestions for names to us. We are looking for a catchy name which works in both Welsh and English – quite a challenge and one we would like your help with!

We ask you kindly to send your ideas for a name by email to: info@pontio.co.uk or by post to Pontio, Main Arts Building, Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2DG by December 21 2012. The winning name will be announced March 1 2013.

Many alumni have a lot of affection for the old Theatr Gwynedd. How do you plan on building on the success of Theatr Gwynedd?

I am particularly aware of the affection people have for Theatr Gwynedd. It holds many memories for performers, craftsmen, technicians, production companies, playwrights, the University’s alumni and staff and the communities across Gwynedd.

Pontio is, in consultation with various people, exploring possibilities and ways of celebrating the memories people have of Theatr Gwynedd. This way we can take this valuable legacy with us into the new Centre.

We will be building on the work of Theatr Gwynedd too by bringing mid-scale companies back to the north west of Wales: Mid Wales Opera, mid-scale theatre productions of Theatr Genedlaethol and National Dance Company Wales. There will be new companies too which have not yet been in the area, because art evolves and new companies spring up, and a new generation of creative people emerge looking for a platform to perform.

How are the local community being involved in Pontio?

The local community has been involved in the ongoing arts and community events programme and we are mindful of their continuing involvement over the coming years and into the Centre.

We are in the midst of discussions with the People of Bangor Community Group regarding this year¹s Festive Celebrations and also Bangor Youth Group regarding a new series of film screenings to be held from January onwards.

What is the best way for our alumni who may not visit Bangor regularly to be kept up to date on progress with Pontio?

Simply join the Pontio database by visiting our website www.pontio.co.uk. You will then receive information about forthcoming events and special offers. We look forward very much to welcoming you to our events.

2013’s Old Boys’ weekend is 4-6 May. Why not come back to Bangor to see some familiar faces?

LONDON BANGORIANS “Variety continues to be the spice of life of the London Bangorians. Meetings in 2011 and 2012 have ranged from visits to Hatfield House and Aylesbury, to a fascinating presentation by Rachel Harrex, Bangor graduate in Chemistry and Marine Chemistry, on her work at Port Lockeroy, Antarctica, with the United Kingdom Antartic Heritage Trust.

At Hatfield, we were able to enjoy the meeting of friends who were students in the 1950s and had not met since leaving Bangor.

In Aylesbury, we met in the courtyard of the 15th century Kings Arms, and later visited a “hidden” Quaker garden, finishing the day with a tour of the County museum led by the curator herself.

Later in the year, in keeping with the spirit of the Olympics, we plan to visit the archaeological sites uncovered at the Equestrian Centre in Greenwich Park.

If you are a former student, spouse, partner or friend of a Bangor alumnus living within reach of London, do please come to one of our meetings.

Help us safeguard the future of the London Bangorians; we have already been going for more than 90 years and would like to reach our centenary! Everyone is welcome.

Please contact me, Robert Burns, Honorary Secretary, for more information:

SCHOOL OF

OCEANSCIENCES

BOOSTFROM ALUMNI&FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY Staff at the School of Ocean Sciences (SOS) have been working closely with the University’s Development and Alumni Relations Office and alumnus Mick Cook, Chair of SOS’s alumni association, to create a sustainable network of alumni and friends of SOS to help the school achieve its aims.

Through Mick and the University’s combined efforts a number of new strategic partnerships have been developed, with companies as well as alumni, trusts and foundations now giving towards the School’s Undergraduate Summer Placement Programme and the Master’s Scholarship awards.

With support from a number of generous donors, the School of Ocean Sciences offered a series of 11 summer placements to 2nd year undergraduates in 2012 to enable them to work alongside and assist members of staff undertaking research and outreach activity. As the students were required to complete an application form and attend an interview, the selection process proved to be useful for all of those who applied for the placements. Professor Chris Richardson, alumnus and Head of School of Ocean Sciences (Marine Biology and Zoology, 1979) thinks these placements provide students with invaluable work experience in a real-life setting: “During the second year of my Marine Biology and Zoology degree in 1974 I had the opportunity to work alongside scientists and gain research experience on a summer placement. I worked with the late Professor D. J. Crisp FRS CBE on barnacle shell plates in Menai Bridge and this work resulted in a published paper in 1975.

I know that a small investment in funding at an early stage in a young scientist’s career can sow the seeds for greater successes later in life.”

The Kirby Laing Foundation, Gaynor Cemlyn Jones Trust and Drapers' Company, all long term supporters of the School of Ocean Sciences, have continued to support the School this year. The Kirby Laing Foundation established a scholarships programme in 2011-12 which helped attract three incredibly capable and motivated students, all of whom have received excellent marks towards their Master’s.

Scholarship recipient Andrew Clegg, studying Physical Oceanography, was awarded the Darbyshire Postgraduate Prize in Ocean Sciences for outstanding achievement, and both Louisa Higby and Andrew Biggerstaff are now on track for distinctions in their postgraduate courses.

Kirby Laing Foundation Scholarship Recipient, Louisa Higby shared her delight at being awarded a scholarship: “The funding took away that added financial stress of doing a Master’s degree; it truly has been of great help and is very much appreciated.”

Mick Cook (MSc Marine Geophysics, Geotechnics and Physical Oceanography, 1979) explained why he wants to give to the Bangor Fund, and why he wants to encourage others to do so too: “Bangor University was life-changing for me. My MSc from SOS provided me with a passport to the world of offshore geoscience and this has provided me with an exceptionally interesting and rewarding career. I’m proud of being a Bangor University alumnus and I think it’s important to retain an interest in the future and the prosperity of the scholastic community to which I belong.”

Pro Vice-Chancellor for Teaching and Learning, Professor Colin Baker, Louisa Kelly Higby and Head of School of Ocean Sciences, Professor Chris Richardson

13 SHANKLAND IN SHINING NEW LIGHT The woodwork and furniture in the Shankland Reading Room in the Library has been renovated to its original condition and a lighting scheme installed following a donation made by the Drapers’ Company to the University. The Lloyd Reading Room has also benefitted from the Company’s generosity with the addition of a new carpet.

The Drapers’ Company has a historic link with the University, originally contributing over £315,000 to build what was then the Library and Museum, and supporting the costs of installing and improving electric lighting in the building in 1949 and 1962.

The Drapers’ Company currently award approximately £40,000 annually to the University to support various PhD studentships, projects and hardship funding. Their most recent extraordinary donation has paid for further restoration. If you visit the Library today, you will see that the wooden floor and furniture has been restored beautifully and that the library has a bright new carpet.

Speaking on behalf of the University, the ViceChancellor, Professor John G. Hughes said: “We are extremely grateful to the Drapers for their continued support of this University and our students. We always look forward to the annual visit of the Drapers as we know that they keenly follow developments at the University and are always delighted to meet some of the students who receive various Studentship awards.”

Below pictured left- right- visiting the newly refurbished Shankland Library are: Prof. Colin Baker, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Mr David Learmont, Director of Business Improvement; Ms Sue Hodges, University Librarian, Prof. John G. Hughes, Vice-Chancellor, Mr Einion Thomas, Archivist, Rear-Admiral Alastair Ross, The Clerk, Drapers’ Company and Mr Anthony Walker, The Master, Drapers’ Company.

ALUMNUS GIVES BACK Bangor alumnus Malcolm McGreevy (1969, English) has generously supported the University through giving to the Bangor Fund and by providing a programme of employability workshops for current students. In a recent discussion with the Development and Alumni Relations Office, Malcolm explained why he likes to support Bangor: "Originally I chose to study in Bangor because I was attracted to the mountains; I grew to love the area with its very special people, history, culture and language. I graduated with a 2:1 and had a wonderful time at Bangor. I met my wife there, played soccer for the university in the Welsh League and developed my competitiveness as a result, going by the name ‘Iron man McGreevy’ which lives with me still!

I offered to run a series of workshops for the University because I wish to give Bangor students a chance to develop their careers by sharing the knowledge and experience I have of developing a successful career myself.

I feel it's important to give back to Bangor (by supporting the Bangor Fund) because basically the place made me the man I am, trite as it may sound to say, so I want to repay the debt I owe to a very special place."

STUDENTS AND STAFF THANK ALUMNI FOR DONATIONS TO THE BANGOR FUND Thanks to the generosity of alumni and other friends of the University, the Bangor Fund had a bumper fundraising year in 2010/11. Despite the continuing gloomy economic climate, those closest to Bangor University donated a staggering £89,000 to the Fund!

The Bangor Fund helps the University provide its students with the best educational experience available, supported by outstanding facilities and services.

The Benefactions Group, responsible for dispersing donations to the Bangor Fund, were delighted to allocate these funds to a wide range of different but worthy causes throughout the University.

Awards were made towards: • Hardship Grants for final year students, who needed financial support due to disability, childcare or high travel costs. Grants were also given to those facing hardship due to accident, illness or family circumstances. The Bangor Fund was able to help 54 students through its hardship grant scheme.

• Improvements and alterations to the University’s Archives facility, which houses many rare, important and fascinating gems.

• The Counselling Service. The Bangor Fund award is being used to help establish a lending library of self-help books (in which book plates will be placed acknowledging the contributions of alumni), and develop Mindfulness workshops to help deal with anxiety disorders, depression, stress and a range of physical problems.

• Welsh Help (part two)/Cymorth Cymraeg (rhan dau) is a website that helps students and staff use Welsh in the workplace. Thanks to the donations from Bangor alumni, this invaluable tool will now be developed and extended.

• Summer bursaries for students in the School of Ocean Sciences and a travel bursary for a PhD student from the School of History and Welsh History.

• Sports provision. The Bangor Fund provided funding for portable floodlights for the sports pitches, enabling Bangor’s sports teams to hold three times as many training sessions as before.

• Natural History Museum. The award will support the employment of Biological Science students to assist with improving the facility which may be used by students, staff, school children and the general public.

• Treborth Botanic Gardens. This award is being used to improve the signage of the principal garden features, enhancing enjoyment of the Garden for students and visitors.

ALUMNIProfile Rhys Davies (left) and Matt Wells

Matt Wells is the Chief Executive and co-founder of Youth Expedition Company, Outlook Expeditions. A former British army paratrooper and adventure training instructor, Matt is passionate about adventure travel and the benefit it brings to young people.

His expedition experience includes "first ascents" and "first British ascent" attempts, and the leadership and membership of multiple adult and youth expeditions all over the world.

Matt attended Bangor University between 1998 – 2001 achieving a 2:1 (Hons) in Leisure and Tourism Resource Management. The original “Outlook” business plan was produced as part of a second year module called ‘Entrepreneurship Capital and the Firm’: Matt was awarded a B for his efforts! He spent the final year of his degree finalising the research for the business plan, as well as undertaking a CIPD Level 7 NVQ at Coleg Menai and continuing to work as a freelance mountaineering instructor.

Matt’s vision was to create a youth expedition company focusing on high quality customer service during pre-departure training as well as the expedition itself. To achieve this and to differentiate from companies already in the market, Outlook wanted to provide a completely tailor-made approach where teachers could engage with a product which met their own specific needs and requirements.

Matt met Rhys Davies, Outlook Expeditions co-founder and Managing Director, in 2000.

Rhys came from a background of co-ordinating environmental and community projects worldwide and has an MSc in Rural Resource Management from Bangor University. He helped with the research before offering the ultimate commitment by giving up his job to launch Outlook in September 2001; from a converted pig shed where they shared one computer!

Since then Outlook has gone from strength to strength under Matt’s strong leadership and vision and with Rhys continuing on the front line making sure Outlook exceeds client and industry requirements. Over the last 11 years, Outlook Expeditions has worked with hundreds of schools all across the UK and sent over 8,000 young people on life changing expeditions all around the globe, expeditions that have enabled them to learn important transferable life skills such as leadership, money management and problem solving. Evidence of these is more important than ever, with students needing to prove themselves beyond academic success in competition for university places or jobs. Taking part in an expedition provides evidence not only of these skills, but also of a commitment to reach goals and accepting a challenge and the associated reward.

Life changing expeditions all around the globe

Outlook has continually appeared on the ‘Fast Growth 50’ chart which recognises the fastest growing companies in Wales. The staff team now amounts to 55, many of whom are Bangor alumni, and they are housed in purpose built premises on Parc Menai, Bangor. They have also formed a unique partnership with Plas y Brenin, The National Mountain Centre, and are currently working with Bangor University to support a three year PhD project. The project will expand the current expedition research base by exploring the factors that maximise the positive experiences of young people participating in expeditions.

Outside work, Matt enjoys mountain biking, mountaineering and ski touring and lives in North Wales with his wife Helen, son Jack and daughter Elsie. Rhys, a fluent Welsh speaker, born and raised in mid Wales is a keen surfer, diver and fly fisherman and now lives in North Wales with his partner Leisa and children Sion, Mabon, Martha and Efan.

Alumni

AT THE OLYMPICS

As the UK still glows from the success of the London games, we profile some alumni involved in the 2012 Olympics.

Dr Alan Budd MBE BSc (Hons) MB ChB DObstRCOG FRCGP. (1962, Botany) “I was accepted at the age of 19 to Bangor University to study Botany. I had an interest in agriculture and biology and Bangor was the perfect place for learning these subjects to a higher level. There were enthusiastic dons with a wealth of character and also fantastic local geography and marine biology facilities.

After a year I decided to specialise in Zoology and 3 years later graduated with an Honours Degree.

I was attracted to the medical field but was held back by the fear of some of the more squeamish aspects, but hospital portering and auxiliary nursing during vacation periods were essential activities to help with the financial struggle.

A further 6 years on, I graduated from Bristol University with a degree in Medicine.

I developed a love for GP work which I did for 35 years until catching a virus which affected my heart. During these years I volunteered to attend local road accidents and major incidents and I was on call for the ambulance service continuously day and night. It was a very rewarding experience which led to my being asked to cover emergency medical work at large events in London, Premier football and rugby club matches, marathons and Speedway. I also worked in West Africa on a large Hospital Relief Ship as Crew Doctor and in 1999 I was awarded an MBE for ‘Services to Medicine’.

In 2010 I applied to become an Olympic Games Maker for the 2012 Games. I volunteered to use my current and past medical skills and experience to contribute to the success. It was great to meet some inspiring people and to go through training and orientation sessions at the Olympic Sites.

I was honoured to be appointed as a Crowd Doctor at the Olympic and Paralympic games and although it’s been hard work it has been a hugely rewarding, once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Danny Boyle (1978, English and Drama) British filmmaker Danny Boyle was the Artistic Director behind the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony on 27 July 2012. Boyle, who graduated with an English and Drama degree from Bangor University in 1978, is best known for directing films such as Trainspotting, 127 Hours and for winning the Academy Award for Best Director in 2008 for his film Slumdog Millionaire.

The opening ceremony, named ‘Isles of Wonders’, celebrated everything British from the Industrial Revolution to James Bond and Harry Potter and captured the very particular British sense of humour. Many congratulations to Danny and his team for creating such a magnificent spectacle!

Paul Hammett (1981, Agriculture & Agricultural Economics) and Tim Godson (1981, Forestry) Paul Hammett and Tim Godson were at Bangor from 1978 to 1981 and became friends after living in St. Mary’s halls of residence in their first year.

Paul lives near Ely and Tim in York so they don't get the chance to catch up too often, so they were delighted to find that they had both been recruited as Games Maker volunteers for the Paralympics.

During the games, both worked in the ExCel Venue; Paul working for the Event Services team, making sure the events ran smoothly, whilst Tim was part of the team looking after the Sitting Volleyball games. Tim and Paul enjoyed catching up with each other after the events each day and being able to see each other regularly for the first time in 20 years.

UNIVERSITY PLAYS PART IN OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY Staff, students and alumni from Bangor University were among those honoured to be Torch Bearers as the Olympic Torch made its way around the UK. Bangor University Post Doctoral Research Officer Dr Elin Davies of the School of Healthcare Sciences and Hazel Frost, a Clerical Assistant at the University’s School of Psychology carried the flame through Bangor.

Elin was chosen after rowing 5,691 miles across two oceans, raising nearly £250,000 for charity. Hazel set up the Darren Frost Memorial Fund in memory of her son who was killed in a road traffic accident in 2009 and since then she has been campaigning and fundraising for better leisure facilities for youngsters in Bangor.

Among Bangor alumni who were selected to run with the torch were Fiach O’Rourke, 23, a Sport Science alumnus who has represented the Irish national Orienteering team, and Andrew Walling, a former School of History undergraduate and postgraduate.
