In empathy with the challenging situation in India associated with the pandemic, the University will be holding a ‘Solidarity with India’ event, which will take place on Friday 28 May at 13.00 UK time and 18.30 IST, via Zoom.
Solidarity for India builds on other web-based events which we have organised this year. We recognise that India is experiencing a particularly challenging period and we want to reach out in solidarity with our students, alumni and collaborators to show that we are thinking of you and continuing to support, whether you are currently on campus or overseas.
This event will also be supported by Mahesh Loganathan, President of the University of Kent International Student Network and member of our Indian community.
“I’m pleased to support this event with Dr Manning in order to acknowledge the very difficult time that students and stakeholders of the University are currently experiencing in India. I’m currently in Chennai and I can see first-hand the impact of the virus. Through this event we hope to demonstrate the University’s solidarity with India and reiterate the support available to students whether they are currently at home in India or in the UK.”
During the event there will be a series of uplifting and mindfulness activities and we will share details of how to gain support from our Students Union, Wellbeing Colleagues and Student Learning Advisory Service.
Please join us in solidarity with India!
