September News Roundup: stories you might have missed.

Researchers from our Centre for Coastal Communities presented the findings of a major project highlighting some of the key challenges facing England’s coastal communities during an event at the House of Lords.

Richard Thompson, our Professor of Marine Biology, is among 47 people from all over the world featured in a new book being distributed across the UK’s secondary schools.

The Claire Chick Nursing Fund has reached £20,000, meaning it will be endowed and available to University of Plymouth Nursing students for generations to come.

Students have designed a comic to help young people understand dementia, including how to support a loved one living with the condition.

Making the start of term possible

Students are back on campus, and with them comes the list of costs that university brings. Rent. Key course books. A few home comforts to make a new place feel like home. A laptop. Train fares for those commuting in. A little money to join a club or society and meet people.

Bursaries help with all of it.

One recent recipient told us that when the email about their bursary arrived, they had 'just been doing a spreadsheet working out how to make ends meet.' Their bursary landed at exactly the moment they needed it.

To everyone who gives, this is what your support does. It shows a belief in the power of education, and it makes a real difference to students at the point they need it most. Thank you.

You can support bursaries at Plymouth, alongside graduates and friends, through the Plymouth Fund.

Here is what's now known as the Reynolds Building, on the corner of James Street and Cobourg Street. In this photo from around 2001 it was home to the Institute of Health Studies, but a variety of teams have been based here over the years. Does anyone have memories of this building?

Today we’re sharing a photo of what became known as the Isaac Foot building, originally used for Maritime Studies. It was linked to the much taller Mary Newman building by a bridge on the first floor, visible here. Although Mary Newman is still standing, Isaac Foot was demolished some time ago. Who remembers it?

The Business School is now based in the refurbished Fitzroy Building on main campus, but for many years it was in the Cookworthy Building, just off Regent Street. Does anyone remember being taught here?
