Connections: Darryl Telles

BA Politics, 1986

What’s your standout memory of Warwick?

Campaigning from the anti-apartheid struggle to the Miners' Strike.

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

We were extremely fortunate to have maintenance grants, no tuition fees, and the ability to have time on our hands for extra curriculum activity.

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

The election Hustings took place in a boisterous, rowdy, and frankly intimidating atmosphere. Little wonder that we didn't have women presidents.

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

I met such a diverse range of people from an extraordinary range of experiences.
