<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As mentioned in the below, we are seeking nominations for the VC’s Outstanding Civic Contribution Awards for the Class of 2020.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for those graduating students who have also had an exceptional impact on the people and place of Nottingham (and the wider local area) during their time with the University.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can see last year’s winners in the attached pdf. They were presented with their award by the VC and Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus at the inaugural Graduation Civic Dinner. This year, of course, we will be planning something online for 24<sup>th</sup>
July – as well as making sure they and their families are invited to the graduation celebration we will have once we are able to.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nominations can be from anyone (please do pass to colleagues), they can be a short para/ few bullets (about 50 words is fine) detailing who the student is and why they should be considered, please also provide an email address so we can
get in touch with them. Given the inspiring example set by so many of our students in helping communities and partners tackle the COVID-19 crisis, I am looking forward to seeing the submissions.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><u>Sent on behalf of Dr Paul Greatrix, Registrar<o:p></o:p></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Heads of School (sent to other Senior Leaders for information)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Celebrating the Class of 2020: “graduation” without borders - update on plans and advice for Schools wanting to get involved</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will be well aware that the University has had to take the decision to postpone summer graduation ceremonies in the UK, until such a time as is safe for our students and their families to celebrate their achievements.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as the formal process goes, our students will still graduate from the University in absentia on 24<sup>th</sup> July 2020 – with their certificates posted to them later in the summer along with an invitation back to campus to attend
their official graduation at a point in the future where we are able to do so properly. Our campuses in China and Malaysia will be proceeding in accordance to their own circumstances and plans.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, especially because of the exceptionally difficult circumstances that our Class of 2020 have faced, we want to make sure that the University takes the opportunity to celebrate their achievements this summer, even if we can only
do so virtually. We need to celebrate the achievements of our Class of 2020, that they are graduating from the University of Nottingham,
<i>but make it clear that this is not their graduation.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also recognise that, across the university, colleagues in Schools and Professional Service Departments are all flat-out dealing with the enormous challenges we’re collectively dealing with as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Taking all of this into account, a small project team has developed the below proposal, which we hope will enable Schools and the wider university help our graduands and their families mark this occasion in the most extraordinary of circumstances.
We’ve taken as our inspiration the work undertaken by the Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences, External Relations and Student Services earlier this year, which enabled us to do something similar in the middle of crisis. Two videos were produced in under
72 hours (one for <a href="https://twitter.com/UniofNottingham/status/1247860243796766720?s=20">
our student nurses</a> going on extended placement, one for <a href="https://twitter.com/UniofNottingham/status/1247872069108240384?s=20">
our graduating medics</a>) as well as some fantastic messages of congratulations, advice and good wishes posted by colleagues in both Schools on social media, using the
<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WeAreUoN?src=hashtag_click">#WeAreUoN</a> hashtag (my favourite being
<a href="https://twitter.com/RuthPearce18/status/1247890329962860544?s=20">this Love Actually homage</a> from Ruth Pearce).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whilst we can’t promise a live ‘zoom graduation’ on the One Show for all Schools this summer, nonetheless we want to repeat the authenticity, creativity and spirit of collaboration that underpinned these efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, please find below an overview of what we’re planning, how Schools can get involved, key actions and dates. Any questions, queries, suggestions – please direct them to Alex Favier, Director of Global and Political Affairs (email
<a href="mailto:politicalaffairs@nottingham.ac.uk">politicalaffairs@nottingham.ac.uk</a> in the first instance).

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is being planned?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">A single 24 hour period of online celebration (24<sup>th</sup> July 2020) across social media platforms, with Schools, graduands and their families, alumni and university partners encouraged
to post their own messages of congratulations, words of advice and best wishes to the Class of 2020 – all using the #WeAreUoN hashtag
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">A virtual ‘graduation without borders’ – with messages of celebration following the sun as it circumnavigates the world over 24 hours, with graduands, their families, alumni and international
partners asked to post messages at their local time (including our overseas campuses in China and Malaysia)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Support for Schools who want to take part in marking this occasion – a toolkit of advice, ideas and tips will be provided, as well as two GWB Forums over the next two months for key contacts
in Schools to discuss ideas, compare notes and be provided with social media advice ahead of the 24th July.
<i>NB: as an example, we will not be able to produce bespoke material like videos for each School, but we will advise Schools on how they might want to approach this themselves, as per the above example set by the Schools of Medicine and Health Science which
resulted in a much more interesting, genuine series of video messages. </i><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">A ‘get ready with us’ social media and “gown and robes” preparation toolkit for our graduands, as well as some lighter-hearted things planned for the day itself.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Colleagues in External Relations, Student Services and CARO will produce a suite of materials to be used across the day, including:<o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo3">a single video, featuring a poem commissioned from UNESCO City of Literature Young Poet Laureate, Georgina Wilding
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo3">contacting alumni, stakeholders and partners to ask them to get involved in the day<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level2 lfo3">a promotable schedule for the day<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Communications with our graduands following the day with a ‘save the date’ for the future rearranged graduation ceremony, details of the support the University will continue to provide
them through Careers and Employability – as well as invitations to join our thriving alumni community<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How can Schools get involved?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">For those Schools who wish to take part in the day, Heads of Schools are asked to nominate a lead contact to liaise with the project team and pull things together within the School, and
for that person to email <a href="mailto:politicalaffairs@nottingham.ac.uk">politicalaffairs@nottingham.ac.uk</a>
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">If Schools would like to do something tailored for their graduands on the day (i.e. School prizes, picking a particular time of the day for their staff and students all log-on to social
media at the same time etc) then please let us know.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo6">We will be running the second year of Vice-Chancellor’s Outstanding Civic Contribution Awards – for students who have made an impact on the people and place of Nottingham during their
time with the University. Schools are asked to contact Leonie Mathers (<a href="mailto:leonie.mathers@nottingham.ac.uk">leonie.mathers@nottingham.ac.uk</a>) with short nominations (50 words) by 5pm 26<sup>th</sup> June 2020<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
