Unified
I realised today just how much Swansea University has influenced my life.
Chem. Eng. summer school back in 1978
(I remember me, Nick, Mierion Jones, Prof Bowen, Prof Richardson, & thats all)
BSc Chem Eng with Prof Richardson in 1979, leading to a Job with P&G via the milk round. (in the days when employers would tour the Uni's looking to snap up the best prospects - they had positions to fill, then) This arguably leading to a Job with Heinz.
Trying to get the catering contract for the canteen & failing
Watching films, Plays & NT Live @ Taliesin
Kimmy working there, & supporting me through my re-training as a teacher (which I could do because of my first degree from there)
Now being employed by them, working as an Invigilator & Graduation Marshal, which gives me access to their online services, student discount and cheaper membership of the Gym.
Quite a lot to thank Swansea Uni for, over the years.
