Events

The Events Office is responsible for a range of activities designed to promote the strengths and achievements of the University. This includes overseeing the organisation of a range of events, last year totalling more than 100, aimed at helping the University make and maintain contact with important stakeholders. These range from small dinners to major public events involving a thousand or more people.

Regular events include the Shaping the Future lectures which attract an external, as well as an internal, audience. They are usually given by major public figures who come to Exeter to talk about current issues in their field.

We organise VIP and ministerial visits, including Royal visits and organise the Honorary Graduates from nomination through committee to graduation.  We manage the relationship with the Chancellor Dr Floella Benjamin OBE  and we work closely with colleagues in the Press Office, Development and Alumni Relations Office and the International Office.

The Events Office, under the management of the Events Manager, also organises the international delegations for the Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive and Registrar and Deputy Chief Executive as part of the University's internationalisation programme. 

The Events Office team is led by the Events Manager, Adele Wordsworth who is assisted by the Events Officer Margaret House-Hayes.
