1. Now’s the time to plan for your future
When you use your strengths - the things you are good at, and love to do - it doesn't feel like work. York Strengths Development Days are interactive sessions for postgraduates to discover their strengths, support their personal development and identify careers that suit them. Find out more about York Strengths Development Days.
2. Wonderful ways of working with data in a spreadsheet
It's one thing getting some data; it's another thing knowing what to do with it. In this Academic Skills Community session on Wednesday 9 June, take a look at methods for finding, importing, and cleaning up data, and performing simple analyses in a spreadsheet.
3. Make an impact on climate change
Being Carbon Literate means you understand how climate change affects you and others and Carbon Literacy Training empowers you to make an impact in your workplace, community, university, place of worship, or another setting. Sign up to Carbon Literacy Training by Wednesday 9 June.
4. E-scooters, e-bikes and freebies
