Charter Day will kick off at 10am, with the Vice-Chancellor's Address in the Berrill Theatre. The Pro-Chancellor, Richard Gillingwater, will also share his perspective as Chair of Council. We then welcome Honorary Graduate, Alice Chigumira, as our guest speaker. The OU Teaching Awards (managed by The Learning and Teaching Centre) will follow, recognising those who consistently demonstrate that their work promotes and enhances the student experience, supports colleagues in promoting learning and teaching, and is underpinned by an ongoing commitment to professional development. You will have the opportunity to pose questions to our panel with representatives from across the University. Please send your questions in advance to CharterDay-2016. You can also ask them live during the panel discussions.
