After 14 years of service, Campus News is being retired as the university’s staff news platform. 

All staff news will now be posted on our new SharePoint staff news site. It will also replace the Staff Room page, which will be archived in the coming weeks. Campus News and Staff Room will no longer be updated from Monday 15 July 2024.

We’ve also launched a new leadership blogs site, featuring regular content from leaders across the university. Here we’ll share updates on key events in the university calendar, strategic projects and other institutional priorities.  Blogs will automatically appear on the intranet homepage news feed. 

From August, the staff news page will become the staff intranet landing page for the university. It will put staff news and events at the heart of the university’s digital workplace, along with links to the tools and information you use every day. 

Learn more about our intranet vision for the staff intranet on the new leadership blogs site. 

Hosting staff news and information on SharePoint has a number of benefits, including: 

• Articles and blogs are only visible to UoN staff, allowing us to share a broader range of content with colleagues 
• A better mobile news experience through the SharePoint and other M365 mobile apps
• The opportunity to influence your own news feed by following the sites you’re interested in
• Like the content you enjoy and leave comments and feedback – helping us to get a better picture of what staff want from their internal communications

Over the coming months we’ll be putting new elements of the intranet live, iterating as we go. We’ll show you how to get the best out of the new platform – from following your essential sites to reading news from inside of Microsoft Teams (desktop and mobile). 

We’ll also share opportunities to feedback on the changes we’ve made. Look out for them in your news feed and in the staff newsletter.

Thank you for your support of Campus News – see you on SharePoint!
