ANNUAL FUND GRANTS AWARDS
Life-changing experiences Nottingham students were moved, shocked, challenged, warmed and empowered by experiences they had in the schools in townships on the outskirts of Pretoria, South Africa this year. The University’s School of Education has already established long standing links with schools in the townships after setting up various projects to sponsor the salary of an extra teacher and send cohorts of PGCE students to gain experience in the schools and to help them. Thanks to a successful Annual Fund bid, a group of 18 Nottingham students were able to commit to work in the schools – the largest cohort to date. The students were from all of the subject areas offered within the PGCE course, which provided a good range of subject knowledge and skills to offer the South African children and their own teachers and student teachers. The benefits for the professional development of the Nottingham students were far reaching. When not at work, the Nottingham group also undertook a number of activities to discover, explore and interact with the local and wider community. Professor Christine Hall of the School of Education said: “All involved express their sincere gratitude to the Annual Fund for making such a life-changing experience possible.” Students climb Kilimanjaro Fifty-eight Nottingham students celebrated Expedition leader Henry Blanchard said: on the morning of 12 September after “Four of our team had to turn back down climbing the tallest free-standing mountain the mountain during the ascent, through in the world.

A paper lantern for a ‘greener’ planet The University has unveiled one of the ‘greenest’ and most distinctive new buildings in higher education, in the shape of a lantern. The Ko Lee Institute of Sustainable Development, The Centre for Sustainable Energy Technology — at the campus of The University of Nottingham Ningbo China — places environmental innovation at the heart of the world's fastest growing economy and most rapidly developing nation and will house some of the world's leading experts in sustainable energy technology. The centre was launched in East China in May 2008 by the then Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Colin Campbell, who thanked Mr Kin- Kwok Chung, Chairman of the Maxdo Group, for his 'tremendous support' of the work of the university. He also expressed continuing gratitude to the Wanli Education Group. Mr Kin-Kwok Chung has been a major benefactor to the University over many years, from his support of scholarships to help in opening a University office in Shanghai and most recently his major donation to help fund two new research institutes at the University’s Ningbo campus.
