AT the recent graduation ceremonies, University of Ulster Chancellor James Nesbitt paid tribute to the achievements of Magee and its students.
Addressing his audience of academics, graduates and their proud families and friends, the Chancellor said: “The University of Ulster is the city’s university, and we are committed to its development at the Magee campus and other sites in Derry/Londonderry.
“This university is not just in Derry/Londonderry, it is also of the city, and our capacity and potential are shaped by how we interface with its people with its public institutions and with its businesses.
“History has shown that the people of this city are more effective when united in a common purpose.
“That is our challenge, and I urge you to rise to it.”
