News from Head of SchoolNational Student Survey Drop-in Sessions The School is organising two drop-in sessions with free
lunch in the 3rd year lab for on-line completion of the NSS survey. The
sessions will be publicised in the student newsletter due out later this
week, but if you could also alert your tutees that would be appreciated. The
sessions will take place at the following times: Guidance on Procedures for Students with Health Problems The university has produced guidance on procedures for interacting with and referring students with health problems, including possible mental health problems. These are available from: http://www.campus.manchester.ac.uk/medialibrary/policies/referral-medical-mental-health.pdf The guidance essentially provides a procedure for dealing with cases that have typically been handled more informally in the past, and seeks to take account of the legal obligations on the university. EventsSET for The overall aim of SET for BRITAIN is (and has always been) to encourage, support and promote Britain's early-stage and early-career research scientists, engineers and technologists who are the "engine-room" of continued progress in and development of UK research and R&D, and ultimately of UK plc. Dr Douglas Naysmith MP, Chairman of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, will sponsor an exhibition and reception in the House of Commons Terrace Marquee on Monday, 9th March 2009 during National Science and Engineering Week. SET for BRITAIN Awards are made solely on the basis of the very best research work and results by an early-stage or early-career researcher.
