What does it mean to belong at King’s?
Our Vice Chancellor & President, Professor Shitij Kapur, has provided us with an exciting opportunity: an open invitation to suggest ways to strengthen the community at King’s by pitching your ideas.
As our university is constantly evolving, we all have a chance, even a responsibility, to shape our shared experience. This quote from Margaret Mead encapsulates the spirit of our endeavours here at King's, and our commitment to effect positive change.
What would you like to see change to help strengthen belonging at King’s?
This might be something small, something linked to your own department, or something related to the Students’ Union. It might be something huge, like re-designing the campus layout. It might be changes to the physical space or how people interact. We welcome all ideas at this stage of the project, and will be looking to seed fund a number of initiatives to bring them to life, other ideas not selected will be fed-back at an institutional level with an aim to trial some initiatives through collaboration with services across the University.
By offering us your ideas, you will be in with a chance of winning one of five £20 King’s Food credits.
So, what would you like to change to improve belonging and build a stronger sense of community at King’s?
