Did you know that ¹û¶³´«Ã½ has an online writing community, specifically designed for staff and students who'd like to dedicate time each week to prioritising their written work?

It's important to have a valid will that reflects your values and wishes - that's why ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is partnering with Octopus Legacy to offer free wills to all of our staff living in the UK.

Lots of us will have visited the Festival of Innovation earlier this week, as part of ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s 60th anniversary celebrations. The Internal Comms team went along to meet staff and stallholders and find out about the innovative work they were showcasing – from 3D-printed metal to the famous ‘Godiva’ beans!

This month we celebrate Sarah Bennett, whose work on the award-winning Thrive programme has helped students to feel at-home and supported here at ¹û¶³´«Ã½. Watch as Professor Stuart Croft, our Vice-Chancellor, surprises Sarah with a well-deserved Wonder award.

More than 600 members of our community came together to celebrate the launch of our 60th anniversary last week – were you one of them? See if you can spot yourself in our photo gallery, and catch up with images from the event.
