And that's a wrap! As #RAISE23 comes to an end, that marks the end of my tenure on @RAISEnetwork Committee - the impactful enthusiasm & expertise of this group is staggering & it was echoed these last 2 days in the excellent conference presentations. Thank you all involved 1/

Some (of many) highlights: @DavidGilani's amazing (scatter?) graphs, the punch of the 'low bridge' realisation from excellent Day 2 keynote @UniLeeds DVC Jeff Grabill, @jnyrose encouraging us to enable our students to wear their swim goggles & spin their pinwheels 🧡❤️💛... 2/

Interactive perfection from @uniofeastanglia's Callum & Gemma on demystifying commuter students &, of course, the boy band-style chairs adding an air of peril to the final panel! It was an honour too, to chair a few of the session...excellent all. See you next year in Leicester!

Those who know me know I love Frida Kahlo. Amazing that the Billingham International Folk Festival has brought 'The Two Fridas' to Middlesbrough. International dance, adding sunshine to a Tuesday on Teesside, and a joyful celebration of women in art #fridakahlo #amritashergil 🎨
