Public Events Programme 2016 – 2017 WARRINGTON CAMPUS WELCOME Proud of our long history and traditions, the University of Chester has always had an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of truth and freedom of enquiry. This series of public lectures is a wonderful example of the University’s values, as we seek to demonstrate the importance and strength of local partnership in our areas of teaching and research at the Warrington Campus – Policing, Health and Social Care, Media, Education, Business and Sport. We are delighted to be hosting a selection of distinguished and notable industry speakers from both the public and private sector, as we explore disability equality matters, the police and crime plan for Cheshire, life as a BBC Breakfast presenter and popular TV personality, the Mayor of Warrington’s drive for cohesion in the business and charity world, the Warrington Wolves as a community business and the Cheshire and Warrington LEP’s plans to grow the local economy a year after the referendum. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the Warrington Campus of the University of Chester.
