Multi Story Edinburgh
Multi Story Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh
Each episode is a snapshot, a moment, a sneak inside the minds of our graduates. In season one we talked to our 2020 graduates about how things were going, or not going, for them. Season 2 is a little bit of the same but quite a lot different. As the world emerges from pandemic paralysis, are our 2021 graduates feeling inspired or inhibited, glad or gloomy, chaotic or calm? In each episode we meet a different graduate and ask them to tell us their story and to share a place that is meaningful to them. Subscribe now and find out what everyone is up to and how they feel about this weird and unpredictable time. All opinions expressed are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Edinburgh. Multi Story Edinburgh has been created and produced by the Alumni Relations team at the University of Edinburgh. If you are interested in telling your story, please get in touch and let's talk.
