Warwick University thumbs up

I'm visiting Warwick tommorow for a couple of reasons - they are in process of refurbing the student union building, they have a new IT Director in post, I'm interested in what happened to the e-strategy five years on, and also hoping to make linkages with the UCISA and Annual Conference Committee. I suppose it could be called a "benchmarking visit". Last visit to Wariwk a couple of years ago we took a tour of the Learning Grid and SU building pre facelift and discusse the IT systems they use for Student Union activity (very extensive/impressive) - will hopefully get some up to date photos too. It is also the first tour of the Summer for potential applicants and Megan is going to tour the campus and visit the Humanities Building as she is interested in English Lit and Film Studies. The Warwick web site was easy to use to find out tour information and I also got into touch with the SU to discover it is the last week of term so lots of social activity going on in the plaza as it's Arts Festival week and also finalists get their results TODAY. COuld be a lot of hangovers on campus tommorrow one way or another. The enquiries and admissions people were very friendly and helpful and made a positive impression. I hope that Bradford does the same when potential enquirers call.
