50th Anniversary cookery book shows new students the art of ‘Simple Scoff’

Students and academics from the University of Warwick, working with the Vice-Chancellor’s wife Lynda Thrift, have put together a cookery book as a part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebrations, Simple Scoff: The Anniversary Edition. The book offers cheap, simple recipes and cooking tips from around the university. It also features illustrations and poems by former students and staff such as BBC media correspondent Torin Douglas.

The cookery book will be given out free to new students joining the university this year as a part of their welcome packs. It is hoped the books will help students to eat healthily whilst living away from home, in some cases for the first time.

It was awarded for the first time in 2009, and there are now funds for a new 50th Anniversary Scholarship to be awarded to an exceptional scholar in 2015. The application process for the Warwick Graduates’ 50th Anniversary scholarship will be the same as the Benefactors’ scholarships.

French Studies Celebrate the 50th anniversary with Local Schools

On Wednesday 8th July, over 60 primary and secondary school pupils marked the 50th anniversary of French Studies at the University of Warwick with a special day of activities on campus. As Dr Cathy Hampton, a teaching fellow in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, explained, "part of the emphasis of the Warwick celebrations is the idea of looking forward to the future, and we wanted to give a voice to the next generation of linguists by asking them to choose an event from the last 50 years in France and the francophone world that particularly spoke to them. We then invited them to campus to showcase their ideas."
