Good afternoon everyone! here is your round up of news and events from the last two weeks! This week’s winning photo which was received at 10:31 this is Shep up on Wadsley Common taken by Giles Banning-Lover which BTW is a lovely walk!

In the first of what will become regular all staff online events, tomorrow’s is all about the learning and living experience that students can expect from September, plans for getting back to campus, and what support is being put in place for continued remote working. You can still book on the session, but might be put on a waiting list because demand has been really high (this is down to the Zoom limit, not because we want to limit numbers). 

Please do not book if you can’t attend!

Re opening our campus

So you may have seen already in the updates last week that we have a plan for the re opening of campus.

The priority for the re opening of campus is from Autumn to allow students and researchers to safely return to campus alongside blended delivery using online teaching. This does however mean that those of us who are not directly involved in the delivery of student and research facing activities will be looking at a return to Oneleven some time in November or December please note; all information is indicative and subject to regular reviews.

You can see more of the plan and read about how it is going to happen here.

Year end preparations

Its that time of the year again and as we move closer towards year end there is a message from the Financial Reporting and Compliance Team for those who have moved to different roles or teams over the last 12 months.

• If you have as part of your previous roles been involved in the year end audit and that is now being looked after by someone else please contact that person and ensure that the activity it is handed over to them to ease the audit process.
• Please do not worry if you know that the the audit will involve you accessing paperwork still in Oneleven we have plans in place to let the auditors and staff have access to the building from the 1st week in September.
