FROM THE ACADEMIC DEAN
A couple of things as the academic year comes to a
close.
Please fill out the online subject evaluation
through your Interact site. The
University takes these very seriously, and implements changes in light of
them. It is an opportunity to have your
say about the quality of our teaching and your learning experience. And the higher the response rate, the better
we can take up the challenge of teaching effectively.
The end of year service is on this Friday at 7.30pm. All welcome, with supper on afterwards.
ARTWORK
You will have noticed two new pieces of art are now
hanging in the College. The chapel is
now graced with a bark painting by the Rev Gawarrin Gumana, from Gan Gan in
Arnhemland in 1992. It was presented to
Chris Budden on the completion of his appointment as Secretary for Social
Responsibility and Justice (1986-1992).
The dining space is watched over by a work from
Frank Wesley: there is a book on his work in the library, and more information
will follow in upcoming newsletters.
There will be a few more movements on the art front
over the coming months!
SERVICE OF WORD & SACRAMENT / COMMUNITY LUNCH – a service will be held on Wednesday 16 October from 11.30pm followed
by community lunch - all welcome. This
is the final Wednesday service for the year.
