Walk Across the World
This year's Athena Swan Summer Social Event 'Walk Across the World' is back this June.
All staff and students are welcome to come along. If you do not have a smart watch or phones etc that can track your steps you can also collect a pedometer on the day to count your steps throught the month of June.
The Walking Challenge team are working hard behind the scenes preparing for this year’s challenge, including securing top prizes for our winners! While our challenge was a great success last year, we think this year will be even better! Don’t miss out, join the fun!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions to the members of the Walking Challenge organizing team: sara.baumert@glasgow.ac.uk, katie.sutherland@glasgow.ac.uk, alison.reid@glasgow.ac.uk
Carers Week EDI Seminar
Almost everyone will support someone in their lifetime, and yet a caring role can look very different depending on your relationship and the person’s needs. But one thing remains the same - in order for carers to do their best, they need to feel supported and have the right tools to make life run a little more smoothly.
In recognition of Carers Week, which runs from 9th to 15th June, a lunchtime seminar has been organised as part of the MVLS EDI Seminar Series to discuss the amazing contribution of unpaid carers and what support is available for them. It will look at Power of Attorney, planning for the unexpected and, crucially, how to access help in our local communities to prevent carers becoming overwhelmed. The seminar will be held on Wednesday 11th June from 12.30 - 13.30 in Room 582 of the Adam Smith Business School. Attendance can be in-person or online. Please register your interest, using your UofG email address, at: https://events.bookitbee.com/university-of-glasgow-96/mvls-carers-week-seminar/
Athena swan Coffee Catch up
Thursday 19th June at 10.30am in C222 of the Wolfson Link Atrium
In response to the recent culture survey and as a means of reconnecting again and connecting with new colleagues who have recently joined the SCMH, we are going to be holding a couple of coffee catch-up events throughout the year.
All staff and students are invited and encouraged to attend for a blether and a catch-up over tea/coffee (biscuits will also be provided!). This is an informal gathering where we just want to give people an opportunity to meet in person and see both familiar and new faces.
We hope to see you there!
