As the room filled up this afternoon for the first Schoolwide Meeting of the new academic year the energy and enthusiasm of many of our School staff was great to see. We started by discussing how the external environment this year may challenge both their enthusiam and their energy levels - anyone involved in HE will be well aware what issues there are to resolve!
However, we covered some useful ground today - and focused very much on ensuring the student experience at NTU's Brackenhurst campus is as academically stimulating and personally rewarding as we can make it. Input from colleagues updated staff on our well-regarded quality processes, assessment procedures and the knowledge we have about our students and their needs - and wants! We identified where student feedback had been addressed - particularly in relation to resources - and where we could improve even more. Finally, the plans for a new library are starting to crystallise for a central location on campus - giving Brackenhurst an even stronger academic heart.
