OU wins University Face Off campaign

University Face Off winner
The Open University has scooped the title of 'most supported university' in the University Face Off campaign on Facebook.

Student Sarah Wicks, who’s been rallying support for the campaign – including asking Platform to promote the cause – is delighted with the outcome after beating closest rivals Aberystwyth to the top spot.

“I’m grinning from ear-to-ear!” she said. “We won! We were over 1,000 points ahead of our nearest rival Aberystwyth by the end, after a monumental effort by students who set up a Facebook campaign group, pinned up posters at tutorials and rallied support from the Student Association forums.

“A huge well done to everyone who took part, we did ourselves proud, and let the student population see that distance learning does not equate to a lack of community spirit!”
