Hi everyone my name is Katie and, as a recent graduate, I wanted to share some insights and tips with you that I wish I had known when I first started at Edge Hill. Over the course of my degree, I’ve had chance to explore and benefit from the amazing resources and support offered by Library and Learning Services. In this blog I will share some of the key things that made a difference to me and my student experience.
Thank you for joining us for the latest UniSkills Focus On blog. If you are new to our blogs, we publish every last Friday of the month focusing on a different resource that may help with your research and studies at Edge Hill. This month we are exploring a great health resource, Anatomy.TV.
14-18 October. Embrace, Support, Empower: Raising awareness of neurodivergence .
As our event in 2023 was such a success, here we are again, delivering workshops, raising awareness and giving out free squishy brains to Embrace, Support and Empower Neurodivergence and Neurodiversity.
Last year, feedback suggested our event was interesting and enlightening as well as informative, important and insightful in raising awareness and providing information and a great selection of resources.
Last year was also the launch of our toolkits which aimed to empower staff and students to develop knowledge and have conversations regarding differences but most of all, to learn about themselves and others.
Responding to the increases in people exploring neurodivergence, the SpLD team is hosting a collaborative event for staff and students to learn more about. We hope the event will highlight strategies for support and embrace people’s differences.
