Hamish Bull recently celebrated his graduation from the MSc Sport Biomechanics course. He marked the occasion with a family photo and now and then shots of fellow alumni parents.

The pair returned to campus for Hamish’s graduation on 16 December 2022, 30 years after Jo first graduated.

Hamish’s father, alumnus Fraser Bull said: 

“The original photo was of Jo and myself at Jo’s 1992 graduation. We met when we were both residents in Towers Hall (West 16) and were married in 1994. We both enjoy visiting our two eldest sons who have been studying at Loughborough and reminiscing about our time there!
