The British Institute of Facilities Management held its annual awards ceremony this week, and the University won one of five Impact Awards for our 'Impact on the Environment'.

The award was issued in recognition of our Carbon Management Programme, which delivers the University’s Carbon Management Strategy.

The iSkills series includes sessions on finding relevant material for your research, getting relevant information to come to you, research data management, reference management tools, Open Access publishing and measuring research impact. To view the full programme and book online visit the LibGuides website.

Graduate Supervision Reporting (GSR) is now live in Student Self Service, and has replaced the Graduate Supervision System (GSS).

Before coming to Oxford last year, I was aware that the University has a very small number of ethnic minority students. My parents asked me if I was concerned about this and I said no. The reality is, this is no more keenly felt than in the African and Caribbean demographic of the University and the statistics to show this are countless. Starting life at Oxford, or any university, will present challenges to any fresher.

Submit photos of your daily life as an Oxford student between 22 October and 15 December, for a chance to win weekly prizes or a £100 Amazon voucher grand prize. Entries are open to all students and prize winners will be contacted via email.
