70 graduates from 1982, 1983 and 1984 attended a 25-year reunion held at Tate Modern and on a boat on the Thames on 20 September 2008.

The reunion started with a reception in the East Room at Tate Modern, where attendees enjoyed sipping champagne whilst chatting to old friends and enjoying panoramic views of London. A number of alumni were taken on guided tours of Tate Modern to view the various collections on show.

Professor Michael Worton, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Vice-Provost (International & Academic), then spoke about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê today, its steady climb in the world rankings of universities and how Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê is working to solve some of the world's greatest challenges.

Then it was on to the boat at bankside for a cruise up the river Thames to Greenwich. The sunny September weather allowed alumni to mingle with one another on the top deck and to take in the wonderful views. A barbeque and disco followed what was a very enjoyable evening for all concerned.

Colin Wilson (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Economics 1983) said: "The whole event was great fun - I particularly enjoyed reconnecting with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê classmates whilst taking in everything London has to offer. It was also invaluable hearing about the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê of today."

2009 will see a number of alumni reunions organised by faculty. For more information on the reunions taking place next year use the link at the top of this article.
