Hey Everyone

Hi guys,

 

Hope your all well and feeling little more positive since the government announced a promising road to exit COVID-19 restrictions. I personally feel a sigh of relief at the thought of being able to see some friends and family I have not seen in so long. Although I have a looming 30th Birthday looming where I would prefer to hide away from the world and cancel this celebration and keep living my life in my 20’s. I do believe I will be telling people that I am still 29 for the next few years at least!

This week I have been interacting with many students under my school, with some issues around online delivery and the struggle to keep concentration while studying and working from home. I am hoping that we will soon have some announcements here at the University regarding bringing back our campus learning. I do feel many students would benefit from having face to face contact with lectures and piers.

I am hoping that we are all having a more positive outlook on our student experience and the struggle we all feel with home life and isolation will slowly decrease. This new way of living has become our normal and I do think it will take some adjusting to get back normality.

Please feel free to contact me with any feedback you may have Melissa.Thomas@wlv.ac.uk

I Hope to hear from you soon take care and enjoy the rest of your week.
