Falmer magazine preview
The next edition of Falmer magazine will be published in July so look out for your copy coming soon. This special edition focuses on our Chancellor, Lord Attenborough, who will be stepping down this summer at the age of 85.
We also bring you an interview with biographer Andrew Morton and an update on the work at Brighton and Sussex Medical School.
Please note that if you have recently requested your copy of Falmer to be sent electronically, you may still receive this coming edition as a hard-copy. Please accept our apologies; this is due to the high volume of responses to our recent alumni questionnaire which we are currently adding to our database.
