LETTER FROM OUR DEAN
Welcome to the second edition of the OIE magazine!
In this issue, we dive into two powerful themes: wellbeing and belonging—vital to academic success and personal growth.
At the core of any thriving academic environment is a strong sense of belonging. When students and staff feel seen, valued, and included, they unlock their potential. It's not just about building community; it's about laying the groundwork for resilience, mental wellbeing, and academic excellence. Wellbeing and belonging go hand in hand with success. At UEL, we prioritize mental health by providing a wealth of resources and creating environments where everyone feels connected, supported, and empowered to thrive. This edition explores how inclusive cultures fuel personal development and highlights some of our remarkable alumni who’ve found their true path. You'll find stories that emphasise the importance of collective care, open dialogue, and understanding. Our goal is simple: ensure that every member of our academic community has the support they need to flourish. As we embark on this new academic year, let’s commit to fostering a culture that champions both wellbeing and mental health for everyone. Through equity, diversity, and inclusion, we can create a space where everyone belongs and succeeds. Join us in reflecting, engaging, and taking action as we work toward a truly inclusive and supportive academic community for 2024/25! Dr. Jummy Okoya
