Industrial Chemistry Reunion

Fourteen former Industrial Chemistry students who graduated in 1967 recently celebrated their 35th anniversary with a reunion weekend at Bradford.

The students were amongst the first in the Department, now known as Chemical and Forensic Sciences, to graduate under Chancellor Harold Wilson at the new University of Bradford. Most of the attendees had also taken part in the 21st anniversary gathering, which included a tour of the University buildings and laboratories.

The graduates travelled from across England, Scotland and Wales as well as from New Jersey to take part in the event, which was organised by Dr Tim Pestell and Dr Peter Bird, two of the twelve PhD students from that year.

Emeritus Professor Derry Jones, of Chemical and Forensic Sciences, said: "Many of the graduates reached senior positions in organisations in which chemical science has been relevant. One hopes that current Forensic Sciences graduates will be as successful and will retain such affection for the University."
