March/April 2015

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

Our first ever series of hugely successful London NUBS alumni events took place in January and February. The theme of the January event was 'Responsible Business' and it featured a debate on the responsibility of business for promoting gender equality. In February we teamed up with global credit ratings agency Standard and Poor's who spoke about 'Global Capital Markets'. You can view photos from the February event on our Facebook page. We've also been on our travels, visiting alumni in Mexico in February and will be at the QS and Access MBA Fairs in Taipei and Bangkok respectively in April so please come along as we would love to see you.

We're sure you will be pleased to know that dementia will be the fundraising cause for this year’s Nottingham Life Cycle 5. Dementia is an issue that touches the lives of many families and the University will be raising funds to deliver ground-breaking new research, using its Nobel-prize winning MRI scanning to help understand more about the disease and lead to improved treatments.
