Discover a range of online events, resources and activities designed to keep you connected with the University community.
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has impacted all of our lives in unprecedented ways and temporarily changed the way we learn, work, live and connect with one another.
We want to do all we can as a University community to ensure our students and staff stay connected with each other, and remain healthy, active and in the moment. Our Be Connected programme is inspired by the 5 ways to wellbeing. Below you’ll find a range of online events being run and recommended by members of the Stirling family – from live workout and dance classes hosted by our Sports Centre staff, to mindfulness meditation sessions from Student Support Services and CV masterclasses from our Careers team. We'll update the calendar regularly with upcoming events, so keep checking back to see what's on.
We will also continue to promote an array of great online resources and guidance. Click on “more resources” below to find out more. Follow our hashtag #BeConnected on the University’s social media platforms to keep up to date about what we’re offering and promoting every week.
Support services
Student Support Services are still available to anyone who is experiencing concerns or stress at this time, and you can also find answers to any questions you might have about your studies and University services in our COVID-19 student FAQs. There are also dedicated staff FAQs and guidance from HR on wellbeing whilst working from home.
