Friday 31st January

Dear All,

Thank you for your work again this week.

It seems like the ISG and Library buildings mostly survived the storm. The Library have launched an exhibition in the ground floor public space called ‘Rooting’. I suspect they did not test that name on anyone from Australia, or perhaps they did, and it is a comment on the wider context of the state of higher education funding. You will have seen news reports of big job losses at  more universities this week.

If the news is too grim and you are retreating into a good book, you can catch our Fiona on the Radio 2 Book Club this week and  she managed to sneak in a recommendation for Andres’ book, ‘How we named the stars’  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0kmhzdr

Thank you to those doing ITIL training this week and well done to everyone presenting papers and posters at conferences.

Due to popular demand Bart has scheduled more dates for ELM training for staff, book your place now  Learning Item Details – Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications

The LTW SMT are away today for a full day  working on our teamwork and  strategic digital leadership skills, let me know if you can spot the difference when we get back.

I hear rumours of a pot-luck picnic lunch for the wing being organised… get your favourite recipes from home ready.

Have a good weekend,

-Melissa
