Welcome to the July issue of WLVdialogue.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ promotion to the Premier League has given the city a real boost. The University enjoys a strong working relationship with the club and is delighted by their recent triumph. In a four page special on Wolves, experts take a look at the potential impact of their success and we interview Chief Executive Jez Moxey.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue.
 
Best wishes

CIPR Excellence Awards Finalist

WLV Dialogue was shortlisted in the national CIPR Excellence Awards 2009. The judges stated:

"This magazine impresses most through its creative design and varied content, diverse in nature but never losing its link back to the university. Its refreshing look and feel combines well with the balance and range of articles covered and provides a contemporary portrait of life around the university. The research into the planning cycle provides a compelling read, helped by appropriate use of imagery and photography."
