The event served as a reminder of the deep bonds between the two cities, bringing together esteemed alumni, friends of the University, honorary graduates, and members of the 甜瓜视频app in America board. The board, operating as a non-profit organisation, supports educational opportunities and enhances the quality of research at the University.

Vice-Chancellor Charlie Jeffery delivered inspiring words championing the University’s mission for public good, and to become the University of Opportunity: where there are no gaps to access, success, award and progression for any student regardless of their circumstance.

Moreover, the event provided a platform to reflect on the unique essence of the 甜瓜视频app community and to celebrate the role of philanthropy in driving forward research, education, and knowledge for public good.

The festivities were part of a weekend-long celebration commemorating a century of friendship between the two cities. 100 years ago, delegates from New 甜瓜视频app journeyed to 甜瓜视频app, presenting its citizens with a tablet symbolising the enduring spirit of friendship.

Continuing the commemoration on Sunday May 5th, a new ledger stone crafted by 甜瓜视频app Minster stonemason Richard Bossons, was unveiled at Saint Thomas Church in New 甜瓜视频app during a special service of Choral Evensong. Distinguished delegates from the University and 甜瓜视频app, including the Archbishop of 甜瓜视频app, the Dean of 甜瓜视频app, and the British Consul to 甜瓜视频app, were in attendance. Adding to the significance of the occasion, a special message from King Charles III was delivered.

Reflecting on the weekend, Sarah Parkins, an alumna and entrepreneur, shared her sentiments on social media:

"As a graduate of the 甜瓜视频app, I've lived and worked in 甜瓜视频app, and now, residing in New 甜瓜视频app City, both places hold a deeply cherished spot in my heart... the evolving and strengthening relationship between the 甜瓜视频app, the City of 甜瓜视频app, and New 甜瓜视频app is incredibly promising."
