Michele,

Thanks for getting this out. Apologies for not being around much recently, I've been out of the office at training and meetings etc. for ages and need to get down to other things including HEEON work. My diary lightens up a bit after next Tuesday so will be in touch to catch up.

By the way I have just had a long conversation with Berry about the project she is working on for us, she was really singing your praises and saying how grateful she was for your help. Just thought you might like to know.

Best wishes,

Syd.

HEEON CONFERENCES - 2005
'From Exclusion to Inclusion: The Diverse Student Experience' To be held at Woburn House, London on Wednesday 19th January, 2005.

Aim:  Equality and Diversity Practitioners are increasingly being required to work across both staff and student areas.  This conference will focus on the challenge to actively and fully include students from diverse backgrounds into University life.  The day will provide an opportunity to examine cultural and faith perspectives and the needs of international and disabled students.  Key to the outcomes of the day will be for equality and diversity practitioners to discover ways in which they can understand the student widening participation agenda and work with colleagues towards enhancing the experience of students from minority backgrounds.

Objectives: By the end of this conference you will: 
        *       better understand key challenges in relation to international
students and students from diverse backgrounds;
        *       have learned more about the different agencies and
initiatives supporting students from diverse backgrounds;
        *       have identified ways in which you can support student
inclusion.

The fee for the day is: £175 plus VAT. Please note there is a reduction of £50 per day for up to 3 delegates from each HEEON corporate member institution.  
Cheques should be made payable to University College Worcester. .............................................................................
