Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

This week’s pic alludes to my comments at School Forum.  Over the next few week Graeme Cornish and Simon Foxcroft will be discussing with HoDs about their requirements for decanting in preparation for the building program.  Please talk with your Heads about any requests you might have throughout this process.

You will have seen that a Voluntary Early Retirement Scheme will open soon.  Please discuss this with your supervisors.  I’m very amenable to providing research support for academics who would like to join our Honorary Faculty.
 
Don’t forget to nominate your favourite educator in the Joint Colleges of Science Excellence in Teaching Awards.
 
Founder’s Day is just 5 weeks away.  Hoe will open the nominations for Director’s Awards next week, and Sue will be chasing up Department presenters. 
 
I’m sorry to be missing PEC Planning Day this year.  The program looks fantastic.
 
Have a good weekend, see you in a fortnight,
Tim
