Chair of Graduate School Managers Network announced
The UKCGE Executive Committee have appointed Laura McConnell as inaugural Chair of its Graduate School Managers Network.
After receiving a significant level of interest in the role, Laura, the Graduate School Manager at Imperial College, London, was voted on by the Council’s Executive Committee.
In taking up the role of inaugural Chair, Laura said,
“I am absolutely delighted to accept appointment as chair of this important network and I am looking forward to working with colleagues to develop the work of the group in the future.”
The network will host a symposium at the Council’s Annual Conference in Liverpool.
Related to the Council’s Deans and Directors of Graduate School’s (DDoGS) network, the Graduate School Managers (GSM) Network enables sharing of information and expertise, the facilitation of mentoring, the consideration of best practice and discussion of any topic within the postgraduate community. It is also anticipated that both organisations will begin to engage professional development activities in response to feedback from recent events.
The GSM Network warmly invites colleagues to join its community. As a Graduate School Manager, Research Degrees Manager (or similar), you can subscribe to the network through the UKCGE website enabling access to the online forum and receive its separate quarterly newsletter.
