A kick-off event for developing the RVC’s next strategic plan; the RVC Futures Away Day:  a two day, vision setting, off site event that is fully sponsored by the College.

The event is designed to inspire and stimulate a small group from across the College to think about ways of living, learning and working in the future.  Groups will work together in facilitated sessions to imagine what the RVC of the future might look like and why.

All staff and students are invited to apply to be part of this process, which seeks a range of perspectives and a diversity of voices across the whole of the College.
