Surgery sessions
If you have an idea that you would like to put forward to the Vice-Chancellor, please book a place at one of our upcoming VC surgery sessions.
Colleagues are invited to share practical ideas on how life at the University could be enhanced. Ideally, suggestions should be linked to one of the four strategic principles of our new University Strategy - Community, Excellence, Sustainability and an Engaged University.

Each meeting will last 15 minutes and will take place via Microsoft Teams in the first instance.
Places must be booked in advance - please use this form to register your place. Discussions would ideally take place on a one-to-one basis, but small groups are also welcome.
