All University of Kent staff are invited to a lunchtime BBQ hosted by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Julia Goodfellow, to celebrate Kent’s 50th anniversary year.

Individual registration is required for the BBQs, which will take place on the Registry Lawn in Canterbury on 1 July, 12.00 to 14.00, and outside No. 1 Bistro in Medway on 3 July, 13.00-15.00. You need to register for a ticket for either event by close-of-play (17.00) on Tuesday 23 June.

There will be good food and drink, free to all who attend, and the chance to find out how new staff can join one of Kent’s colleges: Darwin, Eliot, Keynes, Medway, Rutherford, Turing and Woolf. There will even be a sorting hat to help those who can’t decide!

In Canterbury, at 13.30, all staff will have the chance to be in the Big 50 photo – you’re welcome to bring props or wear something that represents your job for the photo.
