About Me

Hi,

I work with Colin Bryson at Newcastle University doing various Student-related activities.

Last year I was overseeing the Mentoring Scheme in Combined Honours. It was such a fantastic job working so closely with students and being able to be so receptive to their needs. And now I have the complete privilege of helping staff across the University set up mentoring schemes ready for the Newcastle University 2012 Project completion date. 

I'm having so much fun meeting volunteer student mentors and equipping them for the challenge of pioneering mentoring in their Schools. Couldn't ask for a better job right now!

If mentoring is your thing, or you want to know more about what we're doing here, then drop me a line and I'd be more than happy to chat! 

I look forward to meeting the members who join us here on the RAISE network. Hopefully many of you will be able to attend the Third Annual Conference in September as well. Drop me a line if you've got any questions about anything related to RAISE or the website.

Easter "holiday"

Such a strange tension between my campus being deathly quiet and feeling like I have more to tick off than ever!

Today I'm in the office on my own, with bbc '6music' to keep me company, embarking on some kind of literature…

Hi Grace,

Thank you for the welcome. I am pleased to be here. I have taken the plunge and started a discussion - well I've written something whether anyone will discuss it is another matter!

I look forward to this group growing and developing.

Best wishes

Chris

Hi Grace, thanks for welcoming me to the network. I think that it can offer a great platform for discussion and research sharing and wonderful for networking.

Hello Grace!! Thank you for your lovely message - but far away and obscure is order of the day now! I will start a thread or get chatting to others tonight, it's been a very busy week...

Hi Grace, thanks for your message.  I got to know about RAISE at the SRHE conference last December when I met Colin and others from the group!  Looking forward to continuing the interesting discussions we had then :-).  Regards, Sarah
