Vice-Chancellor hosts exclusive dinner
On their trip to the US earlier this month, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Howard Newby and Lady Newby were delighted to host a private dinner for four alumni and their guests at the prestigious Jonathan Club in Los Angeles.
Co-ordinated by the University’s Alumni Ambassador for southern California, Dr Brian Jones, the dinner gave the Vice-Chancellor an opportunity to update attendees about the establishment and fund-raising priorities of University of Liverpool in America Inc, the University’s not-for-profit Foundation in the US.
The evening also allowed the Vice-Chancellor to thank Dr Jones for his kind offer to make a gift to the Foundation.
Those in attendance were: The Vice-Chancellor and Lady Newby, Dr Shirley Russ (BSc Hons Biochemistry 1981 and M.B. Medicine 1984) and her husband Patrick, Bill Grantham (BA English Language & Literature 1979), Dr J Brian Boyd (M.B. Medicine 1972) and his wife Dr Jeanette Derdemezi, and Dr Brian Jones (Mechanical Engineering 1961, PhD 1965) and his wife, Debbie.
