The Learning and Organisational Development (L&OD) team is pleased to announce its continued support and participation in the Advanced HE Women Only Programme, Aurora.

On behalf of the L&OD team and the University of Kent Aurora Champion Professor Yvonne Sherwood, a huge congratulations to this year’s 2018/19 cohort!

To mark the start of the programme, this year’s Aurorans and previous Alumni came together at the launch event on Wednesday 10 October. The event was opened by our Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Karen Cox, who delivered an inspiring talk about her own career journey and shared positive words of encouragement to this year’s participants.

In addition, two previous Aurora Alumni, Natalia Crisanti, Project Officer, Student Support and Dr Ana Leite, Research Associate, School of Psychology, shared their own stories of how the Aurora Programme had positively impacted their own personal and professional development journeys.

The event provided an opportunity for this years Aurorans and previous Kent Aurora Alumni to network, share their experiences and create some ongoing development opportunities as a wider group, as well as to reinforce and spread the word about the positive impact the programme can have.
