Postgraduate Wellbeing Adviser
Message from Megan O'Brien

There are a series of wellbeing events at the Graduate School which can enhance the overage postgraduate University experience, as Megan O'Brien explains. 

Hi everyone

I would like to thank the Graduate school staff and the International student guides as well as our postgraduate student support office Jamie Luka for always popping into the Wellbeing Wednesday group.  It is always beneficial to have input and to hear about events and activities that are happening.  It creates a sense of community and belonging which is one of my main aims with this group.  The peer support is also fantastic and is at the heart of what we do

Please come along to Wellbeing Wednesdays in the graduate school at 10am, we will be introducing new staff and next week we have one of the fabulous Disability officers coming in for a chat

Give me a call if anyone has any questions or issues they need support with at this time

Take care

Megan

SUSTAINABILITY: A NET ZERO UNIVERSITY
Live Survey and Student Survey

As part of Strategy 2030, we committed to embracing the Sustainable Development Goals across all our activities and to transition to a carbon neutral society. This is not a simple journey, but it is necessary and urgent.

We are developing a strategy to create a pathway and action plan to take us to net zero.

To make sure this strategy is ambitious, credible and something everyone can get behind, the University has launched a student and staff survey and engagement campaign to ask for your views, priorities, concerns and ideas for action. 

Complete the survey. 

The survey will remain open until midnight on Sunday 5 February 2023.

In addition to completing the survey, you can find out more and share your views by attending a Student Summit on Wednesday 1 February at 5.00pm in The Cube, Student Centre, One Elmwood. Hear from the project team and a panel of peers talking about priorities for climate action at Queen’s, ask your questions and share your views. Pizza will be provided! Register here.

The survey will open from 15 January to 28 February 2023. Complete the survey here for a chance to win one of five £20 Amazon vouchers.
