Graduation ceremonies are proud celebrations which remind us of our core purpose; to pass on knowledge to the next generation, to engender a lifelong respect for learning and to equip them to use their talents to improve the world that they are inheriting. Universities and policy makers talk a lot about the impact of education, and seek ways to measure this. But the most significant way any university changes the world is through the Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Keith Burnett ideas and lives of people – those who continue to develop that learning, taking it into every profession and continent of a world which surely needs the commitment of people who have benefitted from the education we are so fortunate to share. Your University is not shying away from global challenge either. We have been greatly encouraged by the support of students and alumni for issues such as environmental sustainability, including through the new interdisciplinary Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures. Our work across all forms of low-carbon energy has attracted talented researchers keen to translate ideas into action. Research into neurological diseases urgently seeks breakthroughs in some of the most debilitating conditions in medicine. And as I write, significant progress in the treatment of breast cancer is being reported – life-changing work carried out here in Sheffield. We are also thinking hard about the needs of the economy and business. The University’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre is rapidly developing into Europe’s first Manufacturing Innovation District. Building is underway on Factory 2050, the world’s first fully reconfigurable factory. Your University is the first to pilot advanced apprenticeships with routes into manufacturing engineering degrees and beyond. And our £80 million new engineering building, known as The Diamond, will welcome its first students in the autumn of 2015. The vital importance of such work has been recognised by distinguished Sheffield alumnus, Lord O’Neill, now Commercial Secretary to the UK Treasury. Sheffield will certainly be playing its part in turning the vision of a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ into reality, and you can read an interview with Jim in this magazine. And after 16 years of exceptional service, our Chancellor Sir Peter Middleton will be stepping down from this role, although he has generously agreed to continue to work closely with alumni. I have deeply valued his care for this University. He hands on the role of Chancellor to another Sheffield graduate, the Right Honourable Lady Justice Anne Rafferty. Dame Anne shares Peter’s dedication to the University which she says “gave me so much. This privilege – which means the world to me – begins my opportunity to repay.” I know you will join me in wishing her the very best. She joins a tremendous international family of talent and commitment to making our world a better place.

There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time.

  • Trustee Recruitment Pack
    The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack Trustee Recruitment Pack June 2021 1 The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack 2 The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack “A little bit of one story joins onto an idea from another, and hey presto… not old tales but new ones” Salman Rushdie, ‘Haroun and the Sea of Stories’ 1. Introduction The Story Museum was founded as a registered charity in 2003 in response to the clear need to encourage literacy and creativity amongst children and young people and therefore improve life chances. Our mission is to enrich lives, particularly young and disadvantaged lives, through stories. We are achieving this from our most unusual Museum located in the historic centre of Oxford, a city where so many stories - real and fictional - have begun; it is also a place characterised by the educational and social inequality that The Story Museum aims to combat. We create imaginative, immersive exhibitions and events that invite our visitors to explore stories in all forms drawn from across time and around the world. Through this interaction with stories and storytellers, visitors of all ages nurture their creativity, skills and wellbeing. They discover and shape their own narrative. Alongside our public offer, we run participatory projects with targeted groups of children in schools and community settings, intended to address inequalities in access to books, creative learning and cultural capital. Having initially worked in schools and the community, developing our programmes and action research, we found a permanent home in 2010 in a dilapidated old site in the centre of Oxford. Over a 10 year period and several phases of capital works requiring £10m of public and philanthropic support, we transformed it into a place of wonder.

For those women, their gender played no part in their journey through the selection process to Brasenose; they got here through hard work and brilliance. But forty years ago, Oxford University was a different place and 28 women pioneered their way through nearly 500 years of tradition to become the very first female undergraduates in the College. In this issue of the Brazen Notes, we celebrate 40 years of women at Brasenose with memories from some of those who were there at the begining. Left: The College Statutes from 1929.
