In brief
Science Teachers' Open Day
Early in the vacation, 55 science and mathematics teachers from 25 schools and colleges attended an Open Day at the University as part of our Science Liaison programme. After a short welcoming address by the Vice-Chancellor, teachers participated in a number of short talks and demonstrations of research in the Science Schools and were later able to mingle with faculty. Feedback has been very positive. Not only did the teachers find the day interesting, enjoyable and well organised, but for most it enhanced their appreciation of science courses at Sussex. Another Open Day for teachers is planned for next year. Other on-going plans within the Science Liaison programme over the next few years are aimed at raising the profile of science at Sussex and attracting many more quality applicants to the University. Mike Tribe Sport Aid
The University has been awarded <156>75,000 to upgrade its sports facilities at the Playing Fields Pavilion site. The grant from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts will go towards upgrading the changing rooms, replacing the all-weather pitch with an artificial pitch and converting two squash courts into a fitness suite and dance studio. Director of Sport, Jan Thole, is awaiting the outcome of a lottery bid. If successful that money will be used to make up the rest of the funding for this project. Postgraduate Open Day
