Connections: Daniel Mumby

What’s your standout memory of Warwick?

Performing in the Warwick Student Arts Festival, including being run over by a wheelchair-bound eccentric in The Real Inspector Hound, as well as being part of the Play in a Day contest two years in a row. Exhausting but so worth it!

How would you sum up Warwick in the time that you were there and your generation of students?

We had all the time we needed to find ourselves, take risks and prepare for adult life. We may have graduated at the height of the Great Recession, but I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

What was the student culture like at Warwick, and were there any annual traditions, societies, sports clubs, or events that you remember?

Friday nights at the Students’ Union meant one thing: Crash - the best night for rock and metal fans. I loved being part of various drama societies, along with Christian Focus, the Warwick Boar and RaW. I still have all the recordings of 'The Adventures of Battenberg and Schnepps', a comedy series I created for RaW with one of my best friends

Finish the sentence: Warwick influenced who I am today, because…

It exposed me to a broad range of views, challenged me to my core, gave me friends for life and helped me to create many brilliant memories.
