New experiences help us learn, change, mature and ultimately grow as people. We grow through new experiences by stepping outside of our comfort zone, expanding our knowledge and developing an understanding of new areas. Why not try something new? For example, submit a proposal and present at one of our upcoming conferences and events.

"I don’t think we ever expected to be meeting beyond the end of the pilot Aurora group, let alone 5 years on – but I think the fact we do is testament to the need of all of us for a group of like-minded individuals, albeit from differing backgrounds and HEIs, offering unconditional support and observation by way of a circle of critical friends. We are unique in that regard and I don’t know any other area of my working life where such a forum exists and is so beneficial and in which so much trust is placed."
