The Women’s Network means collaboration and connection
“As a new member I see the network as the platform through which to support and empower women from all backgrounds in the university and to celebrate our achievements and successes.”
Jackie Yaskey, Co-Greenwich Campus Representative
“The network for me is a place to work with and support other women at the university to ensure our diverse voices are heard. It is also important to me that the network can be a source of collective action.”
Lora Forsythe, Co- Committee Officer
“For me the women's network represents a collective voice. It offers a space to step back from the day-to-day job and consider some of the bigger themes and challenges… The staff networks all provide excellent opportunities to build a sense of collegiality beyond our immediate teams, ensuring that the amazing talent we have across our organisation can connect and, together, achieve more.”
Katherine Leopold, Co-Chair
