Celebrating Brunel University London’s 50th Anniversary with a Gala Dinner on Thursday 30 June seemed a good idea at the time. The local MP for Hillingdon would provide a key address whilst contributions would come from Chancellor Sir Richard Sykes, Vice-Chancellor Julia Buckingham (right). In the event, one Boris Johnston did appear and made an encouraging speech praising the University and its place in the local community. Not so welcome (to Boris) was the demand from John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive Office, Heathrow Airport, for a third runway!
The evening though passed without a serious confrontation with Boris (right) having to go back early to his political colleagues to sort out what was becoming a nightmare. Brunel has good relationship with employers in the area who provide industrial placements for its students. The Water Conservation Trust has supported Masters Programmes at Brunel for a decade.
