Information Technology Services are currently designing a digital strategy for UC. It has been informed by various UC-wide workshops and collaborations. As part of this process, the ITS team has developed a ‘Learners Lifecycle.’ It is currently on display in the foyer of Level 2, PJH. Please go and take a look and add any feedback/comments/ideas you might have. Post-it notes and pens are available.                Ngā mihi, Gabrielle

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand’s Māori Centre of Research excellence is hosting an 8 week workshop series with some really relevant topics. Great for your own professional learning, or to let students and academics know about.

Yesterday was the first session; possibly they will be recorded and distributed. Keep an eye on the website for more information and to register for the sessions. http://www.maramatanga.co.nz/news-events/news/professional-excellence-workshop-series

Kia ora koutou,

This year flu vaccinations are being run a little differently. You will only be able to access vaccinations via the UC Health Centre if you are an enrolled patient there. However, UC is still funding vaccinations for all other staff in the form of vouchers redeemable at any Unichem or Life Pharmacy. These individualised vouchers will be sent out over the next few weeks. Please head here for more info.

Ngā mihi,

Gabrielle
