Tom’s daughter, Wendy Rutter, is pictured on a recent campus visit next to what is possibly the oldest piece of equipment in the Engineering Department – one that her father would have known and worked with. She remembers that Tom believed passionately in the value of education and believes that he would be thrilled that this bursary is part of his legacy.

Early Roses fixtures set the tone for the first Roses to be held in-person since 2019, with Lancaster taking early wins in rowing and running. By Friday’s opening ceremony, held in Lancaster’s Sports Centre, Lancaster had increased the advantage, taking further wins despite spirited competition by York. Lancaster emerged victorious in games of football, handball, pool and American football, whilst York fought back with wins in netball, cricket and hockey. Colleagues from Lancaster University, UK, Lancaster University Leipzig and partners from Navitas Global joined together to celebrate Lancaster University Leipzig’s new international student campus. Located in Strohsackpassage in the centre of Leipzig, the campus offers students facilities to learn and build wider professional skills. With purpose designed office, learning and event spaces, it is positioned to offer opportunities for outreach and engagement with businesses, government, and other partners. York’s teams didn’t give up, scoring wins or draws in 25 out of 58 events held on Saturday. Ultimately, however, Lancaster made the most of the home-field advantage and continued to increase its points lead. By the close of play on Sunday, the crowds cheered as the final victories meant Lancaster secured well over the 172 points needed to be declared the overall winners of Roses 2022.
