Friday 2nd September
Outsiders might think that university academic life is one spent only in the classroom or engaged in research. Mine has been enhanced by the opportunities that I have had by being involved with international activity, my IT literacy enabling me to easily assimilate e-Learning into my teaching and the student focus which I have maintained in my assessment, learning and teaching. So, serendipitous though it may be, I enjoyed my lunch with staff, each representing an area which I believe core to our university values. The human “sandwich” was digitally recorded for posterity and I share it here. Over conversation, aspects of internationalism, volunteering and personal development were discussed and a web site mentioned. Irrespective of where it happens, http://www.hope.ac.uk/hopeoneworld/ does it for me. Stuart Hirst |
 STAFF AND STUDENTS REFLECT

Recently, the university recognised the service and achievement
of Leeds Met staff who had been at the university for 25 years.
Pleasantries shared with colleagues, over a glass, allowed me to
cast my mind back and think about the journey that I had shared
with the university since 1980. It really was distilled by my remark
that “There has never been a dull moment, but the highlights
are the times shared with other staff and students”.
