VIP visits
The Public and Ceremonial Events Office is responsible for coordinating visits of VIPs to the University. The visit might be in conjunction with the opening of new University premises, or it might be to form or strengthen links with an individual who has a particular interest in an area of the University’s research or teaching.
If you are expecting a VIP visitor to the University, or if you are interested in setting up a visit to your area of the University, please contact Alison Dawson in order to discuss your plans and identify how the Public and Ceremonial Events Office can assist you.
Previous VIP visits which have been coordinated by the Public and Ceremonial Events Office in recent years include:
- Prime Minister Tony Blair (June 2006)
- HM The Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh (October 2004)
- Parliamentary Education Committee of Schleswig-Holstein (April 2004)
- Dr Mary McAleese, President of the Republic of Ireland (December 2002)
