In each edition of this e-newsletter, we'll provide an update on what's happening around the University. We'll be telling you about new courses, staff changes, workshops, commissions ... so make sure you read this section!

Staff Changes

2010 will see some major staffing changes in the International Centre Admissions section.

Garry Hendy, Associate Director (Admissions) is taking a year off and in his place Fiona Birt who was recently appointed as Postgraduate Admissions Manager will be acting in his position.

Katherine Webster will be the Postgraduate Admissions Manager, while Fiona is acting in Garry's position.

This presents an opportunity for staff in the undergraduate and postgraduate admissions sections to gain experience in both sections so people will be moving around mid-2010. See attached document for a summary of the changes.

You can also visit the Centre's contact list to find the staff member you are looking for.
