Vice-Chancellor's talks to staff this term

Vice-Chancellor, Sir David Bell

The Vice-Chancellor, Sir David Bell will be hosting his fourth series of talks to staff during February. This term, each of the four talks will address a different key theme for the University.

Sir David has invited one of the University's senior managers to provide a short update on their own area of responsibility at each event, while he provides an overview of University-wide issues and developments. There will, as usual, be plenty of opportunity for staff to ask questions.

Short video interviews with all four senior managers will be available on the staff portal following the series of talks so colleagues will be able to receive updates on each theme without having to attend all four talks in person.

Monday 4 February 1-2pm - Madejski Theatre Agriculture Building, Whiteknights, accompanied by Professor Steve Mithen Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International and External Engagement) - Global Engagement: Becoming and Remaining a Global University
