Feels rather marvellous to be ‘in person’ again for our Birmingham Newman University Newman community Student Staff Partnership Celebration Day - fabulous to have so many projects to learn about and learn from! 🙌🙌🙌

Really enjoying very much the Appreciative Inquiry activities in our current session of our Newman community Birmingham Newman University Student Staff Partnership Celebration Day - thinking about shaping great mentoring practices 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Time to clarify a few things: 1. I’m not “Boris Johnson’s cat” 2. Like all Prime Ministers, he’s only a temporary resident of Downing Street 3. I live here permanently. When he finally goes, I stay 4. Yes, it’s all very embarrassing but it will be over soon

I won’t believe it till there’s a stake through his heart and the ground he’s coffined in is sewn with salt.

Had quite the oddest of weeks but camping with my delightful houseguest overlooking the sea helping aplenty #gottaloveaCKC

Shameful

Great to see RENewman on Birmingham Newman University campus this week … focussed support and activities for our returning students A long-standing part of what we do here, but will also feature in our UPP Foundation #StudentFutures manifesto work this year

I keep thinking about this Matthew Parris column from August 20.

Academic colleagues in the UK - tell me about universities who offer #phdbypublication for external candidates (i.e. academics who are not employed at the awarding university). TIA 🙏

Judge the Tories on their record: Brexit, Windrush, food banks, Universal Credit, bedroom tax, hungry kids, Grenfell, Rwanda, fracking, partygate, Trussonomics, double-digit inflation, mass homelessness, the cost of living crisis, sewage in our rivers and record NHS waiting lists

My two takeaways thus far are the potential of microcredentials as demonstrated by Abertay University and coffee with ADDed conversation from colleagues at Birmingham City University. Loving the pedagogic conversation at this year’s conference #efye2023

Loving the Team Based Learning discussion with the NTU Team Kerry Gough 🇪🇺 Dr Sarah Broadberry 🐾 - thank you for a great session #efye2023

A university drop-out problem? Hmmm. Might it be: Covid lock-downs blighting education: a cost of living crisis; unprecedented industrial action on campus; inflation dramatically reducing the unit of funding? No. It’s that we were not tough enough in dishing out A-level grades.
