  • Annual Report 2007/2008
    Annual Report 2007/2008 imperialcollegeunion.org Annual Report 2007/2008 Page 2 imperialcollegeunion.org Foreword From the President Change has been the theme of 2007/2008 for Imperial College Union. Our facilities, decision making structures and staffing arrangements have been altered so that the Union is best placed to continue to meet the needs of our membership in the most equitable and efficient manner possible. This year we have secured £3.3 million to invest in to the Beit Redevelopment Project and building work is due to start over the coming months. Once this project is complete the student body will have up to date facilities that are fit for the 21st century. We have also successfully executed the task of implementing the governance reforms which were democratically chosen by the student body last year. Three external trustees were recruited last autumn and our new Trustee Board has already provided the organisation with useful perspectives on our finances and refurbishment project that could not be sourced from the otherwise considerable talents of the student body. The past year has also seen the Union embark on a scheme called the Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative which will provide an independent assessment of our effectiveness across all areas. This will in turn identify areas for continuous improvement which will form the basis of the Union’s next strategic review. The Union has been pro-active over the past year not to lose sight of our residual responsibilities to Wye College and the University of London Union (ULU). We have invested a considerable amount of human resource in ensuring that the The Union would not function if it wasn’t for the dedication of remaining students at Wye still have the opportunity through over 1000 volunteer officers and staff.

  • Towards a More Accessible Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities in Contextualisation Using 3D Sound Narratives
    applied sciences Article Towards a More Accessible Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities in Contextualisation Using 3D Sound Narratives Veranika Lim 1,*,†, Sara Khan 2,† and Lorenzo Picinali 1,* 1 Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2DB, UK 2 Department of Architecture and Design, Politecnico di Torino, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (V.L.); [email protected] (L.P.) † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: This paper reports on the exploration of potential design opportunities for social media and technology to identify issues and challenges in involving people in generating content within a cultural heritage context. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, arguments are informed by findings from 22 in-depth semi-structured interviews with representatives of cultural institutions and with people from a general audience who recently participated in a cultural activity. The key findings show that social media could be used more extensively to achieve a deeper understanding of cultural diversity, with opportunities in redefining the expert, extending the experience space, and decentralising collaboration. To further support these findings, a case study was set up evaluating the experience of a mini audio tour with user-generated (i.e., personal stories from a local audience) vs. non user-generated (i.e., professional stories including facts) narratives. These were delivered using text and 3D sound on a mobile device. The narratives were related to a built environment in central London near world-renown museums, cultural buildings, and a royal park.

  • Responses to #Againstacton Campaign
    Responses to #AgainstActon Campaign All of the responses below were emailed to the Union President, voicing opinions on the proposed North Acton site, and what this could mean for Evelyn Gardens and Garden Hall. Respondents ranged from students, to staff, to alumni. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of Imperial College Union. With the ambition of being one of the very best institutions out there in the world, Imperial should realise that to do so will not just require attracting already prominent, well-established experts, but also increasingly important to attract the brightest, the best, to inspire, nurture and train them into the next generations of leading scientists, engineers, doctors and professionals. With that in mind, surely one of the major concerns on the top of Imperial’s list of priorities is student satisfaction. What do students really want? We want proximity and affordably-priced accommodations; we want the opportunities to be close to our departments, facilities and societies, to fully enjoy what university life has to offer. We do not want luxurious hotels and would prefer the old, dusty, creaking ceilings of old halls over the former any day, if it means we get proximity at affordable prices. This is especially true for first years, most of which are new to London, or even travelled as far as from the other side of the world. They need a sense of security, a strong community spirit that close, cheap halls can offer, and not to be loaded with the unnecessary complications of travelling hours to just attend a 9am lecture in the morning and not to be deprived of any exciting social events on campus.

Armed only with a bogus itinerary for a trip to support QMC in the filming of University Challenge, the RCS team posed as QMC students to gain access to the room where Mary was kept. They had no problems in removing the leopard which was only loosely held down and carried Mary through the building to awaiting transport.
