So, it’s the end of another academic year and I think it’s safe to say that 2010/11 has been a great year for the University of Hertfordshire. There’s been the win of Entrepreneurial University of the Year 2010 and to celebrate this we’ve spoken to a range of entrepreneurs who studied here to see where their businesses are now and how they got there. Some are just at the start of their careers, but the diversity of ideas and approaches is pretty impressive! There was the School of Creative Arts’ end of year exhibition in May, which was bigger and better than ever – we’ve provided a taster of what was on show, but would defi nitely encourage you to pay a visit to next year’s show if you haven’t been before. Ultimately though, it’s all about you and your memories – and that’s everyone who’s studied here since 1952. In celebration of this we’ve started a new section which focuses on what you are up to – whether you’ve recently started your own business, got married, changed career, had a baby or just want to share a fond memory of the font! As you might also notice, next year will mark the 60th anniversary since the University was founded as Hatfi eld Technical College. We’re hoping to have a shiny, new website in the next few months, so watch this space for information on upcoming reunions, events, news and ways to get involved!

Alumni Information You may have noticed that the Alumni Web Portal


hasn’t been fully active recently. This is partly due to a brand new Alumni website we are building for you – and also because this summer the University is currently undergoing a whole new system change which will enhance the way that we store your data. Obviously – in accordance with Data Protection - we will not be sharing your details with anyone outside of the University, but from September 2011, you may from time to time receive information which you might fi nd interesting and relevant from departments other than the Alumni Offi ce. We hope that this will be of further benefi t to you, but if you do not wish to receive this additional information, please let us know. Once the new website is fully functional, you will be able to log in once again and update your new preferences - but until then, if you would like to alter what information you might receive in the future, please just email alumni@herts.ac.uk.


Many thanks! 04
