Speeches were given during the evening by Stella Bruzzi, Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, and Haidy Geismar, SCCI Director. Haidy said:

鈥�Our new school for the creative and cultural industries is here to support art and creative practice, and our combined interests in media, heritage, public history, collections and conservation here at 果冻影院. We are literally a concrete argument for the importance of arts, humanities and social sciences not only within the university but beyond. We are already demonstrating the pathways from the university into the sector and evidencing the value of our disciplines, practices, research skills and questions to society.鈥�
