PG Tips Managing Your Journey Out of Lockdown

Going into lockdown has been emotionally and psychologically challenging - and coming out of it and going back to being in areas with lots of people can also be quite anxiety-inducing too. Whether you're at home or outside, dial in and hear from Wellbeing Support Services and our Postgrad Mentors who will be discussing this issue and the best ways to adapt to the changing situation. 

Join us on MS Teams on the 22 June from 3 - 3.45 pm.

PGR Networking 

Are you new to Warwick or haven’t had the opportunity to network with your peers yet? Join us on Thursday 24 June at 4.30 pm for an hour of networking where you will hear from current PGRs about their experiences of networking at conferences and events in the virtual (and non-virtual) world. Sign up on SkillsForge.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing Support - Managing Low Mood

It's Men's Health Week, and this week’s theme is around low mood and how to tackle it. There are times when our mood fluctuates and this is a natural response to difficult circumstances. We all need to prioritise our health; both physical and mental. Find out more about this week's wellbeing theme and the range of support options available.

Telephone Scams

Telephone scammers use a wide variety of fraudulent calls and emails to specifically target international students. Scammers often claim to be from the Home Office, an Embassy or High Commission. For further advice about how to recognise, report and get support with these calls, visit the Student Opportunity: Immigration & Compliance pages and the MyWarwick Stay Safe Hub.

Best wishes,
Warwick Student Communications Team
