Welcome/Croeso to Upsilon Xi at Large chapter!

As chapter President I am delighted to welcome you to our chapter. We have been a chapter since April 2008 and are located at Swansea University, with Cardiff university as a partner, in South Wales, UK. We were the first chapter to be chartered in the UK and the third in Europe. If interested, please look at the tab titled `Our Chapter’ on the menu bar to learn more about our chapter history.

Although located in Wales we have a diverse membership, of which we are very proud, and have members from Scotland, Ghana, Rwanda, India, Slovenia, Croatia, USA and the Czech Republic. We are probably the Chapter with the most diverse membership in Europe.

I hope that you will contribute to the activities of the Chapter. Please check our website Home - Upsilon Xi at-Large Chapter (sigmanursing.org) for updates, forthcoming events and new opportunities. Please also send us your accomplishments so we can acknowledge you and celebrate your achievements. Post opportunities of interest in The Circle on our webpage and contribute to the discussions. By doing this we as a chapter can learn from each other, celebrate our diversity and continue to grow.

All welcome/ Croeso i gyd.

 

Best wishes/Cofion gorau
