Almost 50 guests joined us in Durham for an afternoon of interesting and insightful talks about the current challenges for the profession. Talks were delivered by Professor Steve Higgins (School of Education), Professor Rob Coe (Director of CEM) and a light-hearted talk was delivered in the evening by Professor Joe Elliott (School of Education, Principal of Collingwood College).We were delighted to see alumni travelling from across the country to attend the event, and welcomed back some guests who had not been back to Durham in over 40 years! The event was a great success and it is anticipated that similar events will be held in the future.To keep up to date with all news relevant to education professionals, join the alumni network by contacting alumni.office@durham.ac.uk
