Happy 25th Birthday SHU!

This week the VC wishes the University a happy 25th birthday and launches the Hallam Difference – the things that make us unique.

12 of us in Finance and Planning have been with the University for those 25 years, and some even longer than that!

For reasons unknown Matt Parkin (17yrs at SHU) has a Sheffield City Polytechnic soap stashed in his desk drawer and Zoe has holiday cards going back to 1991, just in case she needs them! Emma has a pin badge from when the queen opened City Campus (picture coming up!)

PSOM all staff briefings

If you weren’t able to attend one of the recent PSOM briefings you can watch a recording of the first session, and download the slides here.

We are on the move!

Well laid plans are afoot! Emma and Simon have now moved from the hottest desks on level 5 (literally) to our old meeting room 11505; Corporate Reporting are now located on the bank of desks in front of 11505, and Purchase Ledger have moved slightly to allow for more space to be made for the big move when Sales Ledger move from L2 Surrey.  Strategic Procurement and Financial Accounts will be moving desks too!

Slides from the All Team Brief

So I was hoping that these would be accompanied by an infographic on how well last week’s team brief was received however it is currently unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances (the website I made it on is broken). For the slides click HERE.

ULT Fringe

The University Leadership Team are putting on a series of ‘fringe’ events which are a new initiative intended to provide an informal, creative environment for reflection and new ideas generation. You can read all about it on their blog here.

Amy’s House Lady’s Day (but men can attend too!)
