'Well over 150 things you should know about Plymouth University' book launch
Written for children, this book traced the University's history from our earliest days as a School of Navigation to the present day, and beyond! What made our book particularly special was that it was written and illustrated by University students Owen Longhurst, Carly Watson and Jake Rowlinson under the guidance of author Helen Greathead with help from school pupils at Marine Academy Plymouth and St Budeaux Foundation Junior Primary School.
The book was published by the University's social enterprise.
