Aspiring Ambitions of the next generation of graduates
Aspiring Ambitions of the next generation of graduates
18/06/2015
The younger generation of future graduates were given a taste of university life this month as they took part in an 'Aspiring Ambitions' event.
Around 800 students from schools across London took part in
the event at Middlesex University throughout June, aimed at aspiring teenagers
to aim higher. The day finished with the students donning a gown and
mortarboard and graduating from the University.
During the one day event, the pupils took part in a number
of interactive activities including planning a family day out in London on a
budget, creating their own university society, and examining what university
life has to offer. They also took a behind the scenes tour of the
University and got a chance to try out some of the facilities.
Tommy Baxter, Gifted and Talented Coordinator from Greig
City Academy, who took part in the event, said: "It is events such as this that
are great at building up our students aspirations and showing them exactly what
is available once they leave school.
"The students really enjoy coming to the university campus
and it's empowering to see how the classrooms, art studios and lecture theatres
inspire them as they begin to think of embarking on higher education."
Middlesex University's Education Liaison and Outreach
Manager Elita Eliades-Ahmed said: "Aspiring Ambitions is one of our longest
running outreach events, and it's always a pleasure to see how the talented
students work together to come up with innovative and creative ideas to solve
the activities."
