| Newcastle University STEM Outreach Forum |
| 15 May 2019, 16:00 – 17:30 | Armstrong Building G.08 |
| Dear colleague,
The Faculties of Medical Sciences and Science, Agriculture and Engineering have successfully presented extensive outreach programmes for schools and colleges for a number of years. The in-school activities and on-campus events both Faculties offer aim to engage with students from low participation and under-represented backgrounds to engage with HE, and to promote progression to University study for the most able students from across the UK. |
| A key part of ensuring this outreach activity maintains an excellent level of quality and relevance is through input from enthusiastic and supportive academic and technical colleagues. Our outreach teams have built up many positive relationships with colleagues from across a range of research institutes, groups and academic schools through which we have developed new and engaging activities and events. |
| With a view to further develop the university’s outreach work with schools and colleges we would like to extend to you an invitation to a new STEM Outreach Forum. The aims of this forum are: |
| · To share details of the current outreach offer and plans for future engagement
· To generate ideas for new outreach activities and events · To develop a network of colleagues who have an interest in promoting and getting involved with STEM Outreach
|
| We look forward to welcoming you for a drink, a bite to eat and some informal discussion. To register your place at the inaugural meeting please complete this web form. |
