This was an amazing event - big thanks to all who spoke and attended. And to @rachel_kerr23 for putting things together. I think all who came along really learned from it and it turned into a great social/networking night with lots of coffee drank, chats had, and contacts made!

Our 10yr Alumni Panel Event was a fantastic evening. Massive thanks to MUD-Lab alumni speakers Jo, Tom, George, and Juliet. And to all the current and past students who attended. Amazing to see the variety of careers undertaken after graduation - and the successes!! #urbandesign

We can’t wait for this event. It would be great if as many as possible can come along on 17/02 evening to join us in a discussion about shaping #urbandesign as a technical vocation - and the role of practice and education. It is NOT just flogging a book!
