<strong>Life</strong>. At <strong>Wolverhampton</strong>.<br />
After <strong>Wolverhampton</strong>. For <strong>Life</strong>.<br />
Welcome to the Summer 2012 edition<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>WLV</strong> <strong>Life</strong> – the alumni magazine for<br />
graduates and former students <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wolverhampton</strong>.<br />
Here in the alumni team we love<br />
discovering things about our graduates<br />
and since the last edition we’ve made<br />
some incredible ones.<br />
If the face on the front cover looks familiar,<br />
you probably recognise her from hit TV<br />
show The Big Bang Theory. That’s where<br />
graduate, Alice Amter, is currently making<br />
a name for herself as ‘Mrs Koothrappali’<br />
and we just had to talk to her about life on<br />
the Hollywood scene (page 12).<br />
Plus, who can mention summer 2012<br />
without thinking about the Olympic<br />
Games? We can’t; and life handed us<br />
our own little win when we discovered<br />
graduate, Lauren Smith, not only works<br />
for London 2012, but is a Commonwealth<br />
Bronze Medallist (page 16). You can also<br />
find out how your <strong>University</strong> got involved<br />
in the Olympics on page 19, including<br />
welcoming the Australian Judo team.<br />
Finally, did you miss our first ever Alumni<br />
Reunion back in February? Well don’t<br />
worry, because in this bumper edition<br />
we’ve got all the pictures (page 3).<br />
With all the latest alumni and <strong>University</strong><br />
news, including the launch <strong>of</strong> our new<br />
branch campus in Mauritius (page 14), and<br />
a look at what a day is like in the life <strong>of</strong> two<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Graduate Interns (page 10), you’ll be<br />
sure to find something <strong>of</strong> interest.<br />
If you fancy sending us a letter or sharing<br />
your ‘life’ story then we’d love to read –<br />
and maybe even publish – what you’ve<br />
been up to since we said goodbye.<br />
I hope you find <strong>WLV</strong> <strong>Life</strong> an entertaining<br />
and informative read – please do let us<br />
know your thoughts via email:<br />

Best wishes<br />
