Chairman of the BU Board, Mr Alan Frost and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Curran have launched the University’s Annual Review 2009.

Entitled ‘Ten reasons to be proud of BU’ our look back at 2009 is featured online in a multimedia version of the traditional Annual Review.

You can see and hear academics, students and graduates reflect on their successes and feelings of pride in a series of short films. The website also features the Chairman of the Board and the Vice-Chancellor ‘in conversation’, discussing the highlights of the year and the challenges facing higher education.

The ten reasons to be proud featured in the online Review include:

Being finalist for ‘University of the Year’ and ‘Research Project of the Year’ in the 2009 ‘Times Higher Education’ awards
Opening of our multi-million pound Executive Business Centre as part of our Business School and the series of high-profile events to ensure its role as a central hub in the region
Maintaining our ‘Number One New University’ position in ‘The Guardian’ league table

Reflecting on the year Professor Curran said: “2009 was a great year for BU. Our Annual Review, which takes an innovative, interactive approach, is a chance for us all to share our feelings of pride about BU and reflect on how far we have travelled.”
