Being Connected helps you to:

• Collaborate, forming networks to share and broaden knowledge
• Recognise and respect diversity and differences in cultures beyond your own
• Cultivate awareness of disciplines within a wider global context
• Contribute positively to communities, both local and global, recognising personal impact on both
• Influence others through skills of communication, negotiation and leadership

Being Connected isn’t just about what you know, it is how you share knowledge, build relationships and create impact.

By following this pack, you will learn about the different opportunities available to become more connected on campus and in the wider world, giving yourself an excellent foundation to develop your skills, confidence, personal/professional development and future employability.
