The newsletter is available online and will also be delivered to residents and available on campus this week.

Highlights this issue include:

  • A report on the Kent and Medway Medical School’s recent open day, with the first cohort of students set to start in September 2020
  • Updates on upcoming events including the Gulbenkian’s 50 Years Festival and Summer Music Week
  • Success for Kent Law School, securing major compensation for two local residents
  • An update on plans to support students and residents with ‘Move Out’ preparations as the end of term approaches

Royal Mail is delivering copies of the newsletter to more than 12,500 properties covering the postcode areas of CT1 2, CT2 7, CT2 8 and CT2 9 this week (beginning Tuesday 7 May).

Community is designed to keep local residents, businesses and community representatives up-to-date with the latest news and developments from the University of Kent. It is published four times a year – in February, May, August and November – and is delivered to 12,500 properties in Canterbury.
