Brown Bag Lunches for Professional and Administrative Staff
A series of lunchtime presentations given by senior University staff on the developments and challenges facing their Division/College.
The objective of the sessions is to provide professional staff with information about how the University works, new developments and the challenges we face.
The sessions will normally last 30-40 minutes with 20 minutes for discussion. They will start at 12.30pm. The target audience is all professional and administrative staff across the University, however they will be particularly focused on staff working at grade 6 and above. Staff in grade 6-10 who have been in post under a year are expected to attend.
The programme is still being finalised and further details will be posted here as soon as they are available.
