I made a promise to ensure I keep students updated with what I am working on during my time in the office on because I believe in transparency. Below is my manifesto tracker. As you know, 12 months can be a brief time to complete things, but it is a platform for me to initiate action plans and measure impacts. My other activities will be shared in subsequent posts.
