A year of celebration 25
Happy
birthday Surrey!
What a wonderful year it has been! One filled with golden memories and moments as
we celebrated our 50th anniversary since the signing of the Royal Charter by HM the Queen which established the University of Surrey in Guildford.
The 50th anniversary procession makes its way up Guildford High Street
We kicked off our anniversary celebrations in style with a celebratory procession along Guildford High Street on 22 October 2016 - exactly 50 years to the day since the inauguration of the University’s first Chancellor, Lord Robens.
Led by our current Chancellor, HRH the Duke of Kent, robed students, staff, alumni and special guests proceeded to Holy Trinity Church, joined by local councillors and mayors and mayoresses from across the county.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Max Lu said: “It was fantastic to commemorate this milestone with our local community and to bring our 50th anniversary celebrations right into the heart of Guildford.
“Our proud association with our home town is very important to us and the procession gave us an opportunity to reflect on the achievements we have made as a result of the hard work and efforts of our staff, students and alumni working together with our local community. We look ahead to an even brighter future for the next 50 years in Guildford.”
“The University… is built not for today but
for the years that lie before us.” Lord Robens, 22 October 1966
