It was wonderful to see so many alumni in attendance, from those who have established careers as well as those who have graduated more recently, along with our brilliant staff and current students. With President Professor Nicola Lacey delivering a thought-provoking keynote on Criminal Justice and Social (In)Justice, the evening was both intellectually stimulating and celebratory – a true reflection of our inspiring community."
