I am pleased to announce I am going to be Alumnus of the Year 2015. I am hugely honoured to be given this award.
I graduated from the University in 2000 with a BSc (Hons) in Rural Environmental Science.
This morning I visited the University of Reading and was given a tour of the Agriculture Department where I studied, however half the building hadn't been constructed by the time I graduated. It was interesting to talk to the students who are now doing my course (with a different name) as it is still a subject I am very interested in.
The campus is quite different from when I was there. There are some beautiful new buildings, coffee shops and the library is undergoing an impressive refurbishment.
I am very proud the University have chosen me and I will fulfil the role to the best of my ability.
