OUR VISION

Our vision is to build strong, active partnerships between the community and university, and make it a welcoming place for learning and sharing between the two colleges and the wider community. We want to create a place where working together, mutual respect, and giving back are key, leading to easy sharing of knowledge, help, and resources between the university and everyone around it.
