Message from Karen Cox, Vice-Chancellor and President:

As you know, as part of my commitment to meeting as many colleagues as possible and getting views on the University, I am working my way round our schools and professional service departments and having open conversations as part of school meetings and department updates.

In addition, I will be holding three Open Forums for anyone to ‘drop in’. These are currently scheduled for March, May and July. The first of these will be held on Thursday 22 March from 10.00-11.00 in Woolf Lecture Theatre, Canterbury campus (with the next one being held at Medway). These will be open sessions for colleagues to share with me their thoughts on the University, what works, what doesn’t work and how they would like to see things done differently. This will all help to shape the review of the University strategy and priorities over the next few years.

If you are able to attend the first Open Forum, please register your attendance here.
