The Library is proud to host the Crafting Remembrance exhibition between Tuesday 28 October and Monday 3 November 2025. 

G uided by the Royal British Legion and organised by a collaboration between Chaplaincy, Staff Wellbeing, Professional Support Staff Association (PSSA), University of Portsmouth Students’ Union (UPSU), UoPCraft@Lunch, and Eldon Art Shop, this creative remembrance project is intended to run for two years and create a locally meaningful commemorative artwork in recognition of all those lost too soon to war and life.  – centred around the symbolic poppy and its leaf. 

Since the Great War (1914-1918), the red poppy that covered the battlefields in France and Belgium has been a national emblem of remembrance to those lost to war.  This project seeks to extend the meaning of the symbol to give special meaning to the poppy leaf as a symbol honouring staff and students from our own university community who are no longer with us.

Some students are still not receiving their university emails through the Outlook app.  In most cases, this has been because they had linked the app to a Google account (such as the student's old university Gmail account), rather than their current Outlook account.  This is all too easy to do, but also easy to remedy. 

Information Services has now made available guidance for anyone not receiving university emails.
