HEARTBROKEN students, staff members and alumni from a university which was visited by the Queen on two key dates in its history have paid tribute to Her Majesty. During the royal visit, she explored the Albert Sloman Library before seeing demonstrations of electronics research and two projects in the UK Data Archive. As a lasting memento of the royal visit, the Queen also unveiled a commemorative plaque before meeting starstruck students and speaking to those who had gathered. In recognition of its dedication to attracting students from around the globe in 2005, the university won a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. The university has also received the Regius Professorship, while a further Queen’s Anniversary Prize was given to its Institute for Social and Economic Research.
