We've had an amazing response already (thank you thank you thank you!), so much so that I'm struggling to keep up with the emails! So I've come up with a google form that will (hopefully) streamline the process. Link includes copy of the open letter 💙 forms.office.com/r/U5q2ksDcNz

Its my last day at Victoria University today! I have had the best, most kind and caring colleagues in my department. But I am so ready to say ka kite to NZ universities, it certainly grinds you down over time.
