U of Warwick's Seasonal Greetings

I must say that the University of Warwick has a fun way of keeping in touch with its alumni. Take, for example, this "online advent calendar where you will be able to discover something new about the University of Warwick on every day up to Christmas Day."

The current V-C, Professor Nigel Thrift, goes on to say in his message:

"We hope that using this calendar, rather than mailing a traditional Christmas card, will give people a unique insight into the life of the University. This initiative is in keeping with our drive to reduce paper use by the University. The money we are saving by not producing a University Christmas card will be invested in additional landscaping to improve our campus and to benefit the environment."


Certainly much better than any boring ol' run-o'-the-mill electronic greeting card, too. Now that's a thoughtful ICT strategy.
