Thursday 7th April 2022 marked the launch of the year-long programme of events to mark 150 years since Aberystwyth University was established in 1872. The University, students and staff, will celebrate this incredible milestone alongside our worldwide community of alumni and friends.
Speaking about the launch of the 150th celebration programme in a year when the OSA itself is celebrating its 130th anniversary, Lauren Marks (OSA President), said: “We’re thrilled to be marking this remarkable milestone in the OSA’s proud history. We have over 9,000 members worldwide and we look forward to involving them in the celebrations and joining the university in its exciting programme as we share these special anniversaries, reflecting on Aberystwyth’s proud history but also looking to the future. The year for us will culminate in a wonderful reunion weekend in Aberystwyth in June 2023 when many of our members are looking forward to coming together in person in celebration.”
More information on the launch of the programme can be found here. The university has also launched a dedicated webpage for the 150th anniversary including information on the events and history.
