February 2019

Greetings everyone! Here's your next monthly instalment of international academic vibrancy and diversity, to take your minds off the chilly weather! Over the last two weeks we have had some great opportunities to share good practice across the University through our Internationalisation Forum in both Canterbury and Medway. We had record attendance with more than 125 attendees across both events. It was great to learn more about the many activities which our staff and students are involved with and I'm pleased to say that new connections and ideas for activity have been flooding in since the events took place.

It's also pleasing to note that this issue of the Newsletter is going out to a large number of new readers, many of whom have recently joined the University. If any new or longer-term readers have suggestions for stories for next month's Newsletter, please email: deaninternational@kent.ac.uk
