I was at University College London as MC and Toastmaster for the unveiling of the Donor Wall where generous benefactors are recognised by the attachment of a cast of their hand. Clever idea, beautifully executed.

A privilege to be in such a globally recognised high level university. I was never clever enough to qualify for any.

UCL is ranked no. 8 out of 24,000 universities in the world.
