Nick Maybury
Died July 2003
Very sadly, Senior Lecturer Nick Maybury passed away on Sunday, 13 July 2003 on the Isle of Wight after bravely battling against cancer for the past year.
An extremely popular member of staff, Nick will be deeply missed by his colleagues and students.
Working on the BA (Hons) Journalism programme since his appointment at Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University) in September 1999, he was well respected by his students. He even helped them set up their own newspaper, East Park News, as well as being very involved in open days and education liaison.
One of his former students, Phillip Norton, says:
"Nick Maybury was an inspiration to many of his students. His hard work and enthusiasm for journalism spurred many on in their ambitions to enter the profession. Nick was not only a respected lecturer, but also a great friend to those who were lucky enough to be taught by him. Both in and out of the lecture theatre, he was always great fun to be around and had an excellent sense of humour."
