To acknowledge Celebrate Diversity and Difference Week at the university, the *AccessAbility Project has devised a prize quiz.
There are twenty multiple choice questions and a first prize of £20 Amazon vouchers and two runner-up prizes of £10 Amazon vouchers. The quiz is available from www.gre.ac.uk/aap and runs until 30th April 2012. The purpose of the quiz is to raise awareness and celebrate achievement – absolutely anybody can take part.
The quiz has been devised by Melanie Thorley, *AccessAbility Project Co-ordinator. Contact Melanie with any queries m.thorley@gre.ac.uk
