Tom Brown
Died August 2004
Tom Brown, who graduated from the Institute in 2003 with a BA (Hons) Political Studies, tragically died in North London on 21 August 2004 (the day before his 28th birthday).
Tom had transferred onto level two of the Politics degree from the University of Westminster, joining a close-knit group of students who knew each other well and supported each other admirably. He was an original thinker who always had a well thought out and distinctive point of view. Tom also had many friends outside the politics group and in his spare time he worked in various bars locally and was a familiar figure on the evening student social scene.
Upon graduation he moved to London and got a job in the archives department at the BBC; he was hoping in time to become a cameraman. An affable person, mild mannered and approachable, outside work he was a keen cricketer and a Spurs fan.
Tom was well liked by students and staff at the Institute: he was someone who got on well with everyone and will be sadly missed.
