Help us celebrate 50 years of The Open University
The Open University is celebrating 50 years of helping to make the impossible, possible. If support from UNISON has enabled you to study with the OU, including free learning on OpenLearn, we’d love to hear from you and to share your story. If you would be happy to be part of our 50th story, please get in touch with Zoe Clayton (zoe.clayton@open.ac.uk) as soon as you can. You can also find more information about all things 50 and the events you can watch or attend at www.50.open.ac.uk
