@FionaBLees Thank you @FionaBLees and thank you all you do to support @OUScotland ❤️

@KateSignorini @OUScotland @OpenUniversity Kate, we only ever met virtually but this comes with all of my very best wishes!

And that’s a wrap! After 34 years and a whole lot of fun, it’s time to say goodbye to @OUScotland and all my wonderful colleagues. @OpenUniversity is a very unique and special institution; I am so proud to have been part of its mission for social justice.

@mrsparkles3583 Thanks Mark; it was great to work with you too. Thank you for everything you did to represent OU students.

@cerithrhys Thank you @cerithrhys!

@KateSignorini @OUScotland @OpenUniversity Congratulations Kate and best wishes for the future!

Fun today with @OUScotland - a pleasure to serve on OU External Advisory Group. Thank you @Scotto_Voce - good to be able to support new partnerships with #LocalGovernment & collaboration in support of place-based learning 💪 A treat to be back @AyrshireColl 🩵

Over the moon 😉 to be at the opening reception for the European Lunar Symposium at The Crichton Campus in Dumfries and very proud of @OUScotland as its host with its long history of space research. research.open.ac.uk/news/ou-hosts-…

@moiradunworth @learnventurer @susan_dumbleton @joycecavaye @alifecycled So lovely to catch up (albeit briefly) ❤️

It was such a pleasure to be there and an unexpected pleasure to meet so many 'old' friends, @learnventurer @susan_dumbleton @joycecavaye @KateSignorini @alifecycled and many others, not to forget the unforgettable Deirdre.

@OUScotland @neilcgray What a great photo!

We're delighted to welcome @neilcgray MSP to our office in his new role as Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, to discuss our work in nursing, ongoing partnerships and making education open to all.

Listening and learning from many diverse voices at The First Minister’s National Advisory Council on Women and Girls Circle Event this afternoon @NACWGScot Proud that @OUScotland is a Pledge Member but there is more we can do #generationequal

Belated thanks to both @DhaliwalKev and Jude Henderson for the tour of the eye-poppingly awesome @UoE_EFI last Friday. Good luck for the opening next month!

@DArcyJackie @JohnMDArcy Happy anniversary to you both ❤️

Married to the wonderful Mr D’Arcy for 40 short years! It’s been a joyful week of celebration at @glenlo_abbey preceded by a special weekend in London. Thanks @JohnMDArcy ❤️

@nursemcj Think you’re partly to blame @nursemcj with all your posts of how much fun you’re having in Oz!

@KateSignorini You will be a huge loss to @OUScotland Kate. Good luck for the future. I was always so grateful for your support and kindness when I worked for the OU. Thank you and enjoy some fun.

I’ll be leaving my beloved OU later this year. This has been the best of jobs and I’d love to pass it on to someone with the passion and enthusiasm to really make a difference to so many learners in Scotland. 👇

@AuntyOof Whoops sorry Ruth! 🤭

@KateSignorini What! Oh no! I didn't give permission for that to happen! 😉

@hegibson412 Fun!!
