1987
I started in 1982 but I was so involved in the Drama Society that I didn't graduate until 1987. My class though would have been those who graduated in 1985.
Won the Guinness Literary Award twice, and was heavily involved in the Roscian Players (Drama Soc).
Then it was small and everyone knew everyone else.
Now I also lecture there and it retains its intimate atmosphere.
Group work and teamwork through the Drama Society.
Political refinement through Adult & Community Education where I honed my social skills and developed my concern for justice and equality work.
Be bold. Don't be passive in lectures. Take control of your own learning.
