We’re highlighting some of the colleague-led activities taking place at LASE Fest. Using the Event App (coming soon), you’ll be able to build your own programme from a range of showcase sessions, campus tours and interactive activities.
We asked some of these colleagues three simple questions: why they’re excited about LASE Fest, what they're doing, and why you should book on to their sessions. Here's what they told us...
 | Fabienne Williams, Senior Content and Brand Manager, University of Greenwich Stall: Brand and Marketing |
|---|
- I'm excited about: the great opportunity the event presents in bringing colleagues together from across the University Group. It's a chance to meet people, celebrate the start of our new chapter, and have conversations that will help shape how we work together as LASE.
- I'm running: a stall which will showcase the new Day 1 LASE brand, including the logos, templates, digital assets and practical guidance that has already been shared with colleagues. Come along, explore the new resources, ask questions.
Come and visit because: you have questions, suggestions, or ideas that are LASE brand-related. Whether you're unsure which logo to use, when to use LASE alongside the University of Greenwich or the University of Kent or simply want to understand what the Day 1 brand means for your role, come and have a chat. There are no silly questions - we're here to help.
 | Dr Alexandra Moores, Academic Advising Institutional Lead, University of Kent Showcase: From Vision to Practice: Reimagining Academic Advising Across the University of Kent |
|---|
- I'm excited about: connecting with colleagues, exchanging ideas, and discovering different approaches to supporting Student Success across our two institutions
- I'm running: a showcase that will explore how we have approached Academic Advising support at the University of Kent to provide a more consistent, equitable and meaningful experience for every student
- Come and visit because: we’ll be sharing institutional data showing how the Academic Advising framework has been adopted across the University, alongside what’s been learnt through its implementation and ongoing evaluation
 | Helen Holland, Assistant Director Estate Planning & Strategic Projects, University of Kent Tour: Campus Tour |
|---|
- I'm excited about: meeting more Greenwich colleagues and discussing how we can collaborate on future initiatives
I'm running: a tour that will highlight the main campus, some of our key buildings and I’ll even be sharing a few of my favourite spots
- Come and visit because: you’ll get the inside scoop on the history of the buildings and their uses over time as well as what activities go on in them now.
These are just a few of the colleague-led activities taking place at LASE Fest. Keep an eye out for the next featured sessions and remember to build your personalised programme using the Event App when it launches.
