Hello Student,

Campus and Community

Update following incident on campus

We want to give you an update following an incident at Sherbourne yesterday evening. We know that the situation is making many of us feel unsettled and worried. Support is available to all students via Wellbeing Support Services and the Community Safety Team, as well as the Residential Life Team if you're living on campus. 

Looking out for each other

We're pleased to see high vaccination rates among our community and it's also encouraging that active cases on campus remain low. To make sure we keep cases low and take care of each other, we need to continue to follow safety guidance. Hear from Professor Lawrence Young on why wearing a face covering and getting vaccinated is so important to keep us all safe. Find out more.

A Covid-19 vaccination clinic is running at the Junction on Thursday 25 November from 1.30pm - 4.30pm. Walk-ins are available but advance booking is recommended.

Hear My Name pilot

Join the Hear My Name pilot and explore whether the use of audio name badges in email signatures helps to facilitate respectful interactions around names. Everyone is invited to take part, even if you consider your name to be simple to pronounce. It’s part of the Say My Name research, looking at whether a lack of familiarity with the pronunciation and spelling of names creates barriers in teaching and learning, and social interactions.  

Best wishes,


and the Student Communications Team
