ence of the newsletter. This could be anyone who might

benefit from the information it contains, for example,

employees or people inter-ested in purchasing a prod-

uct or requesting your ser-vice.

You can compile a mailing list from business reply

cards, customer information

sheets, business cards col-lected at trade shows, or membership lists. You might

consider purchasing a mailing list from a company.

If you explore the Publisher catalog, you will find many

publications that match the style of your newsletter.

Next, establish how much

time and money you can spend on your newsletter. These factors will help de-

termine how frequently you publish the newsletter and

its length. It’s recommended that you publish your news-

letter at least quarterly so that it’s considered a con-

sistent source of infor-mation. Your customers or employees will look forward

A delegation from the University of Wolverhampton has visit-ed India to further strengthen education and business links, to build new relationships “as well as forging new partnerships,

the visit is also an opportunity for us to renew friendships in a country that has special links to Wolverhampton” as Professor

Geoff Layer renewed.

The visit from 13-17 April 2015 was held by the University’s Chancellor, the Rt Hon Lord Paul of Marylebone PC and Vice-

Chancellor Professor Geoff Layer. The University delegation travelled to Delhi and Rajasthan to meet business leaders, edu-

cation providers and Government officials. There were also events with India-based alumni and presentations of bursaries

and scholarships to local schoolchildren. The trip builds on a successful visit last April to Delhi and Mumbai, which also in-cluded time in Bangladesh. Professor Layer also led a visit to

Rajasthan in January this year, where new partnerships were agreed with six universities and an employer’s association.

The Delhi leg of the visit concluded with a scholarship event and the signing of a letter of intent forging a new partnership with the International School of Tourism and Hotel Manage-

ment (IST) Nepal. This concluded the Rt Hon Lord Paul’s at-tendance on the trip. The University delegation traveled to

Jaipur where they met with the Employers Association of Raja-sthan and the Rajasthan Chief Minister.

Visit to strengthen relationships in India

The University of Wolverhampton is delighted to announce that it has received a £1m (Rupees 10 crores) donation from its Chancellor, the Rt. Hon. Lord Paul of Marylebone PC. The philanthropic gift, which is the largest in the University’s history, has been made by The

Ambika Paul Foundation, a charitable trust set up by Lord Paul in memory of his daughter. The donation will be used by the University to enhance the student experience, with specific plans

on actual initiatives funded being finalised at present. Lord Paul said: “Remembering our daughter has always been at the heart of the work funded by the Ambika Paul Foundation.

This gift is dedicated to her memory; but it is also a way of giving something back to the com-munity, and specifically young people.

Nepalese students at the University of Wolverhampton are being offered sup-port following this weekend’s devastating

earthquake.

The University has many links with Ne-

pal, including welcoming students from the country to its UK campuses and car-rying out international development

work there.

On a trip to India earlier this month, the

University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor

Geoff Layer signed a letter of intent forg-ing a new partnership with the Interna-tional School of Tourism and Hotel Man-

agement (IST) Nepal.

The University’s Centre for International

Development and Training (CIDT) has worked in Nepal for over 30 years. The projects include the Livelihoods and For-

estry Programme (LFP), which aims to improve the livelihoods of poor people in

rural areas of Nepal.

Professor Layer said: “The University has many links and friends in Nepal and we have all been shocked and deeply sad-

dened by the news of Saturday’s devas-tating earthquake.

“We are contacting our Nepalese stu-dents, graduates and partners to let them know they are in our thoughts and offer-

ing any help we can provide.”

to make the environment a better place and encour-age students to think the same. During the week,

students could exchange clothes, decorate tote bags and take pledges to do simple things to helps the envi-

ronment such as recycling more, turning off lights and taking the stairs rather than the lift.

The University of Wolverhampton has announced it is investing £12m in new state-of-the-art facilities and courses to help create the next generation of skilled engineers. The major investment will provide ad-

vanced new engineering facilities as part of the University’s response to the regional and national shortage of qualified engineering graduates.

New courses will be offered in the areas of automotive and motor-sport engineering, chemical engineering and electronic and telecommu-

nications engineering for 2015-16, followed by the introduction of food engineering and aerospace engineering in 2016-17.

The majority of the investment will go into transforming part of the University’s Telford Innovation Campus and providing specialist equip-

ment for the new courses with additional investment in facilities for chemical engineering at the City Campus in Wolverhampton.

University in multi-million pound engineering investment

The University of Wolverhampton has been praised for the quality of its teach-

ing and learning following an audit by education watchdogs. The Quality As-

surance Agency (QAA), which reviews higher education providers, visited the

University in February 2015.

The aim of the review was to inform students and the wider public whether

the University meets the expectations of the higher education sector for academic

standards, information provision and the quality of students' learning opportuni-

ties*.

The report published today (APRIL 30) highlights areas of good practice such as

initiatives to raise aspirations and achievement for students and the Univer-

sity’s commitment to enhancing their employment prospects.
