Festival of Learning

The Festival of Learning was held in the gateway from Tuesday to Thursday last week. The event was a celebration of different learning techniques and featured lectures from many experts in best teaching practice.
This was a very prestigious event and we were honoured it took place in the Learning Gateway.

Students have your say - Student Union election 2008 vote at the LG

The University of Cumbria Students’ Union had a voting stand on the ground floor of the Learning Gateway today, Students could vote for all jobs, from cross campus positions including the SU president to officers for Carlisle specific posts. If you haven’t had your say or your free lolly-pop, please come and see the lovely voting lady later this week.

Digital Art Showcase

The Digital Art Showcase was a great success and plans are now in motion to make it an annual event.
With each flexi-room and the lecture theatre showing work produced by undergraduate Fine Art students there was plenty of diversity and lots to see.
We will be posting pictures of the event very soon - watch this space!
Thanks to all those involved in the event and to everyone who came to see the work on display.
