 OUR ORIAM| YOUR SUCCESS

Congratulations to Murray Brown, one of our Duty Managers. He has just returned to Oriam after walking the entire West Highland Way! The challenge was set to raise awareness and fundraising for MacMillan Cancer Support and Beatson Cancer Charity. The Cheesetown Ramblers have now raised over £3000 for the two charities! Read more about their challenge on the just giving page here.

OUR ORIAM| YOUR FUTURE 

HERIOT WATT UNIVERSITY STAKEHOLDERS MEETING
Mr Grant Innes, Chair of Court, and Professor Richard Williams, Principal and Vice Chancellor, invite you to join an online event, where you will hear about the life and work of our University during these unprecedented times. You will see our strategy in action, learn about our world-class research, be informed on our financial performance, and meet some of our students, alumni, and Heriot-Watt governors.

The event is open to all our staff, students and alumni, our partners, stakeholders, and local communities, as we celebrate not only the achievements of the past year but also the 200th anniversary of Heriot-Watt’s founding in Scotland.

The event will also include a panel discussion focusing on our performance and the future of Heriot-Watt University across our five international campuses. Members of the audience are welcome to get involved and ask questions.
