WLVdialogue

Welcome to the Winter 2011 edition of WLVdialogue.

There have been a number of exciting developments at the University recently. A refurbished Students’ Union opened its doors this academic year, with a fresh and vibrant new look. And we've launched two innovative new Institutes which aim to enhance students’ employability and create new opportunities with businesses.

We hope you enjoy reading this edition of WLVdialogue.
