Staff Digest

Our weekly email for all staff to keep you updated on what’s going on across the University:

Find people and departments

Is everything working?

Stay current on the status of key services and facilities at York, request repairs and stay informed about campus disruptions.

Log a repair, ask for something to be moved or check building maintenance requests.
Find out about construction and road works on campus, so you can plan your journey.
Check for any issues or planned maintenance related to IT services, estates and the Library.
Staff celebrate after completing our charity walking challenge, the Great York Walk, which takes place in May every year and raises thousands of pounds for mental health projects.

Community and culture

Discover opportunities to socialise, share your interests and connect with colleagues from across the University.

Options include sports teams, concerts, open lectures, volunteering and staff networks. 

Use our York for Life network (login required) to search for alumni in specific fields, promote and join events, or advertise jobs, whether paid or volunteer roles.

You can also explore our work culture and the behaviours that underpin our Community Without Limits framework.

Get involved

"I want everyone I work with to feel seen, valued and supported for who they are – not in spite of it. For me, it’s about creating an environment where people feel they belong, where they can excel because they’re free to be themselves."

Dr Katherine Bridge, Centre for Blood Research
