Welcome to this edition of the Business School Wellbeing Wednesday Update.\u00a0 We hope you are safe and well.<\/p>\n
Each Wednesday (during term time) we will post a staff blog highlighting wellbeing support that is available to Business School students within the School and from across the university to allow staff to pass on the information to students.<\/p>\n
As Wellbeing encompasses both physical and mental wellbeing we also wanted to highlight some of the measures in place to protect your physical health when you are on campus in the Business School. These help us to keep the campus tidy and make it easier for facilities staff to clean:<\/em><\/p>\n The Business School has dedicated health and wellbeing support for our students:<\/p>\n They are available to provide support for students all year round.\u00a0 They can be contacted via\u00a0NUBS.Wellbeing@newcastle.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Each Wednesday (during term time) we will send you an email highlighting wellbeing support that is available to Business School students within the School and from across the university.

Your views are very important in shaping the actions that the University takes and commits to as part of its application for REC.<\/p>\n We ran a similar survey in 2019, but the world has since changed a lot. We have had inequalities and disparities brought to the forefront by the Black Lives Matter movement and the global pandemic, and through this survey we hope to capture what may have changed since 2019 regarding race equity work in the university. We hope that you will tell us about the things that really matter to you.<\/p>\n If you are studying for an undergraduate, postgraduate taught\/ research masters degree, or are a postgraduate research student, we would like to hear about your experience here at Newcastle University and whether you think there is anything we can do to make it a better place for you to study, make friends, or gain valuable work experience. Tell us, in as much detail as possible, where we are doing well, and where we could perhaps do better, so that together we can build a campus that makes everyone feel welcome and included.<\/p>\n To access the survey, go to: Race Equality Student Survey 2021 (onlinesurveys.ac.uk)<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Malasree Home<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
