'Warwick the Bear’ will travel around campus throughout 2015; each week of term he’ll stop off at a different location, student societies will get the opportunity to guess where the bear is and then learn more about the University campus. This project will tell the fifty year story of the University campus and provide an opportunity to engage with the University’s past.

The 50th anniversary provides an opportunity to look back and reflect over the past 50 years, Professor Robert Dyson, now an Emeritus Professor at the University has written his memoirs from his time working at the University of Warwick between 1970 and 1989. His memoirs give an insight into the development of the University and Warwick Business School in the 70's and 80's.

You can also hear Professor Robert Dyson's interview for the 'Voices of the University' project here.

The New Year heralds the start of our 50th anniversary celebrations. From now until the end of 2015, we'll be celebrating our past and looking forward to the next half century.
