DailyBUzz-1024x553

Excitement is in the air today! On one of the longest days of the year, the UK will vote on its future relationship to the EU, which, of course, is a decision of incredible importance; but also in higher education, the results for the THE Leadership & Management Awards 2016 will be revealed!

HEI representatives from all over the UK are presently making their way to London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane for an exciting black tie evening dinner where the winners will be announced.  Tweets are already flowing in at #THELMAS.

Global BU are very proud to be shortlisted for the Outstanding International Strategy award.

We are shortlisted alongside six other universities, which are: the University of Bedfordshire, Cardiff Metropolitan University, De Montfort University, the University of Essex, and the University of Greenwich.

Many universities have embraced internationalisation, developing it as a central pillar to their wider strategic plan.  All efforts to create and encourage a global community through exploring new ideas,  listening to our students and staff, and by embracing innovative approaches, are worth celebrating.

The Global Engagement Plan at BU has three core values:

  • Developing Global Talent
  • Driving Global Thinking
  • Delivering Global Traction

 

Tomorrow, not only will we learn whether the UK will be In or Out of Europe, but we will also be congratulating the well-deserved winner of the THELMAS! Good luck to all the nominees!
