Dear 

We are very proud to let you know that earlier this month we officially opened the doors to our new Leeds Trinity University City Campus for teaching.

This is a very significant milestone for the University. Our new campus at 1 Trevelyan Square in Leeds will broaden our student offer, attracting a new cohort interested in the city experience, and complement our Main Campus in Horsforth. 

Postgraduate students were first to step into the City Campus on Wednesday 16 October. Foundation Year and undergraduate students followed shortly afterwards.

The City Campus will be home to courses in Business, Law, Computer Science, Criminology, and Construction and the Built Environment – a range of subjects that are expected to thrive and grow in the heart of the dynamic Leeds economy. Read more. 

We are really looking forward to celebrating All Saints' Day on Friday 1 November. This is a day when the Leeds Trinity community can come together and reflect, give thanks and celebrate. 

The Alumni Office, as always, will have a stall on the day and as well as showing some historical archives we will also be sharing some pictures from All Saints' Day taken from the last 10 years. See more images. 

Huge congratulations to Rhiannon Matthews (Theology and Religious Studies, 2020) for winning the BBC Radio Tees Make a Difference Award. 

Rhiannon, who works at St Michael's Catholic Academy in Billingham, won the Care Award after saving the life of one of her pupils. During her time as a student with us, she was also President of the Catholic Society. Read more.

Earlier in the month we welcomed back alumni from Netball, Men’s Football and Badminton to compete against our student teams. Our Main Campus in Horsforth was buzzing all day as it was also a University Open Day, allowing prospective students the opportunity to see the camaraderie and team spirit on show.

The alumni emerged victorious in all of the fixtures, but each game was played in a great spirit. See more images.

On Monday 18 November alumna Varsha Panjwani (English, 2004) will be hosting a live talk, Mapping the India-Britain Journeys of A Midsummer Night's Dream, from 7:00pm at the Horsforth Campus.

Varsha is the host and creator of the award-winning Women & Shakespeare podcast and the author of Podcasts and Feminist Shakespeare Pedagogy (Cambridge University Press, 2022).

This is a Rosemary Mitchell Poetry Event, a series of talks by prominent academics and poets, curated by English and Creative writing at Leeds Trinity University, to remember our former colleague.

If you would like to attend this talk please email Amina Alyal.

On Thursday 28 November, 5:00 – 8:00pm, we will be hosting the SHP Yorkshire History Forum at our Main Campus in Horsforth. 

A range of workshops will be taking place about bringing history into the classroom, including a focus on local and regional history and teaching the miners' strike in South Yorkshire.
