UKCGE reveals plans to launch Directors of Graduate Schools Network

The Council is delighted to be working with Professor Darren Van-Laar, who is the Director of the Graduate School at the University of Portsmouth in developing the Terms of Reference and agenda to bring Directors together.

Carolyn Wynne, the Council’s Principal Officer said:

“Over the last few months, the Council has become increasingly aware of the requirement in the sector for a support network to discuss issues associated with the responsibilities of the role. The main objectives in the provision of this network are the sharing of information and expertise, facilitation of mentoring opportunities and the consideration of best practice.

We are considering the most efficient way to implement this network for maximum benefit to Directors and Deans and look forward to being able to make an official launch statement in July”.
