Big thanks to Katharina Winterhalder for all her work with SPIRU over the last few years. Katharina is returning to Germany to start full-time employment. Katharina has contributed to 55 case studies to SPIRU's Tackling Poverty Locally Directory!!!

Saddened when Chanelle described getting a 2.1 from University (to rapturous applause) as something that shouldn't happen to "people like me". Still much work to do promoting and normalising fair access to universities. @Chanelle_SSF #SSFawards24 @sportscotland @Actify

If anyone would like to come along to GCU @GCU_GSBS @CaledonianNews on March 19th I’ll be giving a professorial lecture about my personal and political journey through academia eventbrite.co.uk/e/professorial… all welcome.
Professor Nancy Lombard@ProfNLombard

18 years ago I moved to Scotland, a lone parent with my 7 month old baby, to start a new life and a PhD at GCU. Four more children and a career later, I found out last week I have been promoted to Professor. Thankyou to everyone who has supported me and our family along the way.

@StranraerFC Shocked and saddened to hear of Shaun's passing. Shaun encapsulated everything that was good about (lower league) football in Scotland. RIP.

Stranraer Football Club is shocked and saddened by the death of its much-loved chairman, Shaun Niven. Shaun was a devoted football man and a great friend to all at Stair Park. Our thoughts are with Shaun’s family and friends at this awful time. Robert H Rice Vice Chairman

After tough year I’m thrilled to be 12 wks pregnant. Been suffering from #HyperemesisGravidarum, unable to work for 6 wks. Gutted not to see my 4th yr students through final wks at uni but I have the best, most supportive colleagues who have stepped in.
