Jan/Feb 2015

Welcome to the latest nubiz e-bulletin with all the latest news, developments and events from the Nottingham University Business School alumni community.

Congratulations to all our amazing students who proudly collected their degree certificates at the Winter Graduation ceremony in December. Also honoured was MBA alumnus Adrian Hayes who received an Alumni Laureate Award (read more below).

2015 is a busy year for events. In January and February we are holding two themed alumni networking events in London (follow the links in the Events section for more details). Renowned for
enterprise and supporting small businesses, the School is hosting a free Growth Diagnostic Workshop on 22nd January covering key strategic business areas and how to apply for the Small Business Charter Growth Vouchers Programme funding. We will also be supporting one of the largest events aimed at bringing together innovators, investors and entrepreneurs in the region. Venturefest East Midlands 2015 takes place at the East Midlands Conference Centre, University Park on 14 April 2015.

Happy new year! We look forward to another exciting year full of high quality events and activities right across our alumni community and hope 2015 brings you happiness and success.
