Pride in Professional Services

The work that our professional services community does can often go unrecognised, but it is this ‘under the hood’ activity that enables everything else to work and function across the university. 

To open the conference, representatives from five of our professional services teams presented their recent achievements including:

  • Graduations 2022
  • Communities of Practice (CoPs): Bringing people together
  • Supporting staff and students in Ukraine
  • Technical staff contribution to UCL Research
  • Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021

Watch each of the individual Pride in PS presentations

Slides from the day

Accessibility

If you would like the slides in an alternative format UCL has made available Sensus Access, a free converting tool to that can convert slides into a range of alternative formats.

My Computer My Way offers simple 'how to' guides to make your device easier to use. The guides offer step by step instructions on how to adapt your phone, computer or tablet to meet your needs. You can search for a specific need (e.g. making text larger) or filter the guides based on your symptoms (e.g. hand tremor) or condition (e.g. dyslexia). All of the guidance and assistive functions signposted are freely available to everyone.
