The Season of Goodwill is almost upon us and we're creating a ‘Merry Christmas from the University of Bradford’ video for you to send to friends, family and colleagues around the world.
We want as many people as possible to be part of the video so you are invited to come along to the Atrium on Tuesday 6 December between 12noon and 2pm with your teams to say a short message to camera, whilst adorned in some Christmassy paraphernalia (which we will provide – or you can bring your own!)
We will be inviting International students (and staff) to say messages in their language giving a truly international flavour to the production.
No need to book – just turn up, but be prepared to wait a bit if we are inundated! We may also roam the campus for participants – so watch out!

As part of the STEM initiative the School of Engineering, Design & Technology’s Outreach Team is running a programme of eco workshops for undergraduate students from under-represented groups from of all disciplines at Universities throughout the UK.
The programme introduces them to the challenges engineers face in addressing climate change. The project also investigates possible solutions to man-made climate change.
Participants in the workshops road test some of the engineering solutions to climate change by taking part in the following activities:-
In addition to considering Engineering solutions, the participants also consider the social, economic and creative aspects of a reduced carbon lifestyle.
Sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering

The University is starting to plan activities to celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2016. Part of the planning process is a survey of alumni, to seek their views and find out how we can involve them in the celebrations.
If you are a Bradford graduate, you may have already received an email containing a link to the survey. We would be very grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to let us have your views. If you are a graduate of the University and would like to complete the survey but have not received your invitation, please contact k.bavage@bradford.ac.uk
The new car park access control barriers located at the entrance to the Emm Lane and Heaton Mount car parks at the School of Management will be brought in to service today, Monday 5 December. They operate in exactly the same way as those located at city campus so many users will already be familiar with them.
The barriers will be staffed by the Security and Car Parking team from 8.30am to 12.30pm on Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 December to help staff, students and visitors to the site who may experience difficulties operating the barriers.
All staff and students are reminded that if bringing a vehicle on to campus they will need to be in possession of their staff card in order to gain entry. The barriers are operated by holding your card against the square grey coloured card reader that is located under the intercom speaker which is located on the post at the barrier. There is also a high level speaker to facilitate access by larger vehicles.
Visitors to the campus car parks can gain access by pressing the button on the intercom which will connect them to the main security control room at city campus from where access will be given remotely. All staff responsible for arranging visitors and deliveries to site, to communicate the new access control arrangements.
The University has agreed that commencing this year consistent users of Inprint’s services will be rewarded with a percentage of profits distributed back to Schools after audited Accounts.
Inprint & Design are celebrating 10 years as the first true shared service in print within the public sector. It was formed in 2002 by the merger of the University & College’s individual print rooms and became a Limited Company jointly owned by both Institutions. Over the last 9 years Inprint have delivered over £1m profit to each institution and at the same time brought £2.4m of new income from external sources.
Inprint & Design is responding to changes in the current environment by evolving into a communications company, rather than simply providing Print. They need the help of both staff and management to discuss their future needs, so that they can invest in skills, software & equipment, and remain relevant to customers in the future.
Lunch in Richmond D2 12-12.30pm
Followed by presentations in the John Stanley Bell Lecture Theatre

Acclaimed performers Rachel Dean and Matthew Bellwood invite you to join them for two very different interpretations of Christmas.
A special night of story, dance and music. Nativity is a full-body collision with the enduring power of the myth and magic of the Virgin Mary.
Dance artist Rachel Dean uses movement, song and things that sparkle to create an irreverent and at times surprisingly devotional solo performance.
St Nicholas and the Wicked Butcher is the tale of a quest to save three tiny children from a villainous Parisian butcher. Alongside a Christmas ghost story, Matthew Bellwood's telling of this grisly and bizarre tale promises to be as engaging as his audiences at Opera North and the Edinburgh Festival have come to expect.
Plus Christmas treats including carols from the Leeds Women's Institute choir.
'So inspiring we ran outside afterwards to make snow angels!'
