'Friends of the Freeman'
The Freeman Library is a unique space anchors the community of students during their years in the department. It is a place of scholarship, friendship, support and learning. The geography department is now seeking to renew, reinvigorate, reequip and refurbish this space to make it fit for purpose for the decades ahead. We also want to honour the outstanding research conducted by our undergraduate students by establishing a permanent “best dissertation prize”. To this end we have established a “Friends of the Freeman” fund. Funds will be used to purchase new books, computers and other equipment for the library space and to establish a permanent best dissertation prize.
