Working with colleagues from Attenborough Arts, we commissioned three portraits of female ‘firsts’ at the University of Leicester, painted by female artists.
The University’s many Royal links and visits over the years.
It is with great sadness that we record the loss of students, graduates and members of staff, past and current.
