Following an overwhelming response, the ticket ballot has now closed for the Vice-Chancellor’s inaugural lecture.

The event, held in the Great Hall, will see Professor Shearer West deliver her vision for the University following her first months in office.

Tickets are limited, and will be allocated to ensure a fully representative range of staff can attend the event, across grades, sites, academic disciplines and professional services. Separate arrangements were made to ensure that Operations and Facilities colleagues with limited access to digital channels could have equal access to tickets in the ballot.

All those who applied via the ballot will be contacted and informed whether or not they were successful in securing tickets.

The lecture will be livestreamed at www.nottingham.ac.uk/vc-inaugural-lecture.

It will feature a Q&A session, with attendees and viewers encouraged to submit questions during the lecture. This can be done via #AskUoN on Twitter, or by emailing VC-events@nottingham.ac.uk

The lecture will also be available to view online after the event.
