Welcome by Programme Manager | Emma Brotherton | Higher Education Programme Manager
I am Em Brotherton the Programme Manager and have spoken to some of you already in recent months. Some of you I've known from my work with the CCI previously and I know there are some new faces. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you all online. Any questions ahead of our start date ****change (18th September 2024, 9.30am on Teams) please do email me and I'll do my best to sort these out.
You should have a calendar invite appear on your Teams calendar in the run up to the course start date. This should mean you'll be able to click 'join' on the event in your Teams calendar. As we are all aware we can't account for technical difficulties, and these will tend to crop up on the first day or at other extremely inconvenient moments, please try not to worry too much and email or Teams message me, we can sort it all out.
Very much looking forward to either meeting you for the first time or once again! Have a fab rest of your summer.
