Thank you to all our presenters and everyone who was able to join us for our Staff Conference week last week! It was great to highlight a variety of interesting and important topics showcasing what Kent is all about.
Over the week we had over 600 sign-ups to the sessions, with many more listening again online – including 300 colleagues taking in Vice-Chancellor Karen Cox’s welcome and update on Kent’s 2025 Strategy and Mid-Term Review session.
We’d love to hear what you thought of our first Staff Conference Week! Please share your views by completing this short form by Friday 29 October.
Throughout the year we’re putting together a programme of Webchats and will be asking for your input of what you’d like us to focus on. So please share your thoughts and ideas, by emailing communications@kent.ac.uk.
