Annwyl <<First Name>>,

Yn gynharach y mis hwn lansiwyd y fideo 'Dewch i brofi’r hud a’r lledrith’ ar y teledu, ar wefan y brifysgol ac ar ein cyfryngau cymdeithasol.
 
Fel cyn-fyfyrwyr, rwy'n siŵr y byddech yn cytuno bod gan y brifysgol gymaint i'w gynnig, nid yn unig i ddarpar fyfyrwyr, ond i bartneriaid, busnesau, rhoddwyr, cydweithredwyr a chyllidwyr. Mae arnom eisiau rhannu gwaith y brifysgol gyda'r grwpiau hyn mewn modd sy'n adlewyrchu ein hymrwymiad i arwain ym maes ymchwil, profiad myfyrwyr ac addysgu a dysgu trawsnewidiol.
 
Felly, am y tro cyntaf erioed, rydym wedi cynhyrchu ymgyrch hysbysebu newydd i Brifysgol Bangor sydd wedi ymddangos ar deledu daearol yng Nghymru (yn Gymraeg), ar HTV West a Central West (yn Saesneg) gyda'r nod o godi ymwybyddiaeth am frand y brifysgol. Caiff yr hysbyseb Saesneg ei leisio gan y naturiaethwr, y fforiwr a’r cyflwynydd teledu poblogaidd, a darlithydd er anrhydedd ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, Steve Backshall, gyda Nia Roberts, un o’r wynebau mwyaf adnabyddus ar S4C a chymrawd er anrhydedd ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, yn lleisio'r hysbyseb Gymraeg. Mae'r project hwn yn ychwanegol at ein partneriaeth â drama S4C yr hydref hwn sy’n rhoi cyflwyniad byr i raglenni drama poblogaidd.
 
Mae’r hysbyseb yn dangos golygfeydd godidog trwy lens sinematig sydd wir yn dangos y gorau sydd gan ogledd Cymru i'w gynnig. Gobeithio y bydd yr ymgyrch hon yn ein gosod ar wahân i’n cystadleuwyr, gan adael argraff barhaol ar gynulleidfaoedd. Yn sicr, bu’n gryn hwb i weithgarwch diwrnodau agored yr hydref wrth i ddigwyddiad mis Tachwedd ddenu mwy o ddarpar fyfyrwyr i'r campws nag erioed o'r blaen. 
 
Edrychaf ymlaen at rannu cam nesaf yr ymgyrch gyda chi pan gaiff ei lansio yn chwarter cyntaf 2022.

Dymuniadau gorau,

Yr Athro Iwan Davies

Dear <<First Name>>, 

Earlier this month we launched our 'Experience Magical Bangor' video on television, the University website and across our social media outlets.
 
As alumni, I'm sure that you would agree that the University has so much to offer, not only to prospective students, but partners, businesses, donors, collaborators, and funders. We want to share the work of the University with these groups in a manner that reflects our commitment to leading in research, student experience and transformative teaching and learning.
 
So, for the first time, we have produced a new Bangor University advertising campaign which has aired on terrestrial television in Wales (Welsh narrated), HTV West and Central West (English narrated) with the primary objective of raising awareness of the University brand. The English ad is voiced by the popular naturalist, explorer, television presenter and Bangor University honorary lecturer, Steve Backshall, with Nia Roberts, one of the best-known faces on S4C and Bangor University honorary fellow, voicing the Welsh ad. This project follows, and is in addition to, our partnership this autumn with S4C drama which sees a short introduction to popular drama programmes.
 
The adverts show our epic landscape captured through a cinematic lens that really shows off the best North Wales has to offer. This campaign will hopefully set us apart from our competitors, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. It certainly supported our autumn open day activity with November’s weekend event attracting more prospective students to campus than ever before in our history. 
 
I look forward to sharing the next phase of the campaign with you when it is launched in the first quarter of 2022.
 
Best wishes, 

Professor Iwan Davies

Mae Prifysgol Bangor yn falch i adrodd bod y rhan fwyaf o gerbydau o fewn fflyd Gwasanaethau Eiddo a Champws y Brifysgol wedi cael eu newid i gerbydau drydan.

Gwnaed hyn yn bosibl drwy gais llwyddiannus gan y Gwasanaethau Campws am gyllid Economi Gylchol Llywodraeth Cymru. Talodd hyn am bedwar o’r cerbydau trydan. Yn ogystal, defnyddiwyd Cyllid gan Gyngor Cyllido Addysg Uwch Cymru i brynu chwe cherbyd ychwanegol.

Mae newid y fflyd i fod yn un trydan yn cyfrannu at uchelgais y Brifysgol i fod yn brifysgol gynaliadwy ac yn cyfrannu ymhellach at nod ac amcanion Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol 2015.

Bangor University is pleased to report that the majority of the University’s Property and Campus Services vehicles have been changed over to electric.

Four vehicles were funded by a successful bid for Circular Economy funding from Welsh Government made by the University’s Campus Services, who own most of the University’s Fleet. A further six electric vehicles were purchased with funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales.

Changing the fleet over to electric contributes to the University’s ambitions to be a sustainable University and to contribute further to the goals and objectives of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
