The StAndard - the University's staff magazine
The StAndard is written by staff for staff of the University. It was launched in March 2004, as a direct response to concerns and desires expressed in the staff survey of 2003. Edited by the Press Office and designed in-house, The StAndard involves members of staff from every corner of the University, regardless of status or seniority.
Its main aim is to increase communication and collegiality across the University, by engaging staff with profiles, features and news pieces on a range of University colleagues and initiatives.
Anyone can write and submit articles - news, views or reviews - for the magazine, which is published three times a year: March, June and November.
Alternatively, you may wish to volunteer or nominate a 'victim' for the 'hot seat', or pose a historical challenge for our Special Collections team. Perhaps you would like to see your School, Department or Unit featured, or learn more about how the University is dealing with a burning issue.
