Newcomers Group
The University wants to make you and your family feel welcome to the campus and its community. A group of volunteers closely associated to the University host the Newcomers Group. They meet for coffee mornings, walks or drinks at the University’s Staff Club. It is a great way to meet new and retired staff, partners and children.
The group consists mainly of partners/family of our academic staff. You are welcome to come for a coffee, walk or drinks and these lovely people will help to make you feel at home in your new city, without any obligation on your part.
The Newcomers Newletter Information (PDF) includes days, times and places of meetings and walks.
