Luton South independent candidate Dr Stephen Lathwell dropped in at the University of Bedfordshire on a fact-finding mission recently.
Dr Lathwell, whose family has been based in Luton for centuries, met Vice Chancellor Professor Les Ebdon CBE before being shown around the University including its media facilities, learning resources centre, the site of the new campus centre and business pods.
Dr Lathwell, a regular contributor to the website the-daily-politics.com, said: “The University is of primary importance to the area. It is at universities that many new technologies are developed. The Government should be investing more into all universities.
“I was heartened to see that the business school works with local businesses and is involved in true to life business problems giving students a real entrepreneurial edge.”
Dr Lathwell is familiar with universities having completed several qualifications including an undergraduate degree in Business and Computing, masters in Optoelectronics as well as a PhD in Innovation and Education Engineering.
