The summit looks at imminent changes facing the role university has as a public institution. With students and universities across the country for the first time preparing for up to £\;9\,000 annual fees in 2012 - now is a good time to question what a university education will mean for future generations\, and for society as a whole. \;
Organised for the first time by both students and staff at the University of Warwick\, and supported by Warwick Hub\, WHES promises to be an exciting day of debate. \;
Tickets include lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Earlybird tickets can be bought here at a lower price: \;http://groupspaces.com/studenthubs/item/221830?msid=1322753781.3825 \;
