Welcome to your April edition of Dialogue magazine.
Last time we asked all you pet lovers to send us images of your pets and what a response we had! In this edition, we’re featuring all your furry friends in celebration of National Pet Day. Thank you for all your submissions.
Also in this edition:
- we’re featuring Linda Joyce, who picked up the Making a Difference to the Environment and Sustainability award in January's Professional Services awards for her contribution to reducing the University’s environmental impact.
- you can read all about our first ever Durham Global week.
- we take the opportunity to highlight some of the extraordinary achievements of women from across the University.
Dialogue also shares how our Careers & Enterprise team works with employers from a diverse range of industries to drive SME engagement for the benefit of our students.
Finally, if you have a story you would like to share with our Durham community, please get in touch: dialogue@durham.ac.uk
