Aziz Foundation visit Kingston University campus

The Aziz Foundation were delighted to visit Kingston University’s Penrhyn Road campus in November. The institution is one of the Foundation’s preferred partners and the visit provided the team with an opportunity to meet with a cross-section of university stakeholders.

During the visit – organised by Director of Development and Alumni Relations, Abbey Carr – the team met with:

• Dr Martyn Jones, Deputy Vice-Chancellor
• Hamad Momin, Senior Advisor, Faith and Spirituality
• Jenni Woods, Head of Access, Participation and Inclusion
• Osman Omar, President of the Islamic Society (Isoc)
• Salma Saidy, Vice-President of Isoc
• Hadjer Bellagh, Vice-President Isoc
• Abid Haque, Kingston Hill campus lead of Isoc
• Tasnim Haque, Secretary of Isoc

Foundation staff were given a tour of the new campus facilities at the Town House Building and the Outreach Centre, and were able to inspect the faith centre and consider the provision available to Muslim students. Furthermore, the team heard of the extensive widening participation and outreach work conducted by the university and, furthermore, were able to meet with Islamic Society representatives to discuss the Muslim student experience on campus.

The Foundation is looking forward to continuing to work closely with the institution on areas of shared interest. For more on Kingston University, please see its institutional profile and our EDI index.
