Pauline Ortiz is a senior officer for a banking union, and a graduate -life was not always so good. She left school at 17 and by 31 she was divorced with two children and no job. Then she heard about Ruskin.
Founded in 1899 Ruskin was the first residential college for working people and for those who had little or no educational opportunity when young.
Every autumn since then, men and women have arrived at the college from a variety of communities and backgrounds, ethnic, industrial, and trade union, to study full-time for the first time in their adult lives.
They will leave with a degree and go on to further study, on return home to make their careers. Few have any recognised educational qualifications when they arrive.
All have a common interest in a society and a desire to improve it. Entry to Ruskin is bv interview and is only for students who are 20 and over.
The college is residential and full state grants are available.
If you are motivated to improve society this is your opportunity to gain the education you always wanted - but missed.
Think of where it could get you.
