Dear student
I am emailing with an update regarding the Adapting for Continued Success programme (ACS).
As a reminder, this programme is focussed on how we organise and run the University so that we can deliver our Aberdeen 2040, strategy provide an excellent education and high-quality research and respond to the challenges we face, including increasing financial pressures and and rapidly changing world around us.
At its heart, ACS is about designing a new operating model that offers the best possible services and support for you, our students, and responds directly to your concerns about how things work and what we can do better.
Therefore, your insight and feedback are critical to the success of the ACS programme.
Please see updates on some of the engagement opportunities, to feed into the ACS programme, below:
Student Council Meeting and AUSA Annual General Meeting (AGM):
Thank you for the feedback that was shared with us when Professor Nick Forsyth, Senior Vice-Principal (Acting) visited with the Student Council Meeting last month.
I am also attending the Students’ Union’s AGM meeting on 18 November at 5:30pm in NK6 to discuss the ACS programme.
Micro-engagement questions
In the coming weeks all students will have opportunities to directly feed into the ACS programme through a series of micro-engagement questions. These questions will be shared each week in your Student Update and Students’ Union newsletters. Please ensure you answer each short question as your feedback is crucial to help shape the future of UoA.
Drop-in information session
The first in a series of student drop-in information sessions will take place on campus on the 2nd of December, between 4pm and 5pm, in James McKay Hall, Kings Quad, Old Aberdeen.
Each session will run for one hour and will give you the chance to speak directly with University staff working on the ACS programme. It’s an informal space to share your views and help shape future improvements at the University.
You can find details of these on the Adapting for Continued Success webpage.
As the programme progresses, further updates will be given.
Best wishes,
Professor Jo-Anne MurrayVice-Principal (Education)
