Dear readers
January is a low month for many academics and university departments, but not for the sex team!
We have been busy getting in touch with our students and making sure they all have their program for the year well planned.
We are also working on the Web CT sites - which have to be ready by the end of January.
In addition we are developing a Web CT "Mentors" site and getting a heap of research organised for 2008!
My dear program manager Lata Britto is a pillor of patience, and my colleagues Russell Shuttleworth and Gomathi Sitharthan so tolerant of my rantings and ravings....
I plan a 2 week holiday in February - so if any of you readers are in the wonderful land of the long white cloud, the Kiwi, the Haka and the Allblacks and want to talk - let me know.
Take care till we meet again

Looking forward to an exciting new year
Hello all and welcome to my first message for 2008.
I believe 2008 will be an exciting one for the Graduate Program in Sexual Health.
Why do I feel that way?
Firstly we have >30 students starting this semester in the coursework program. We are all thrilled at the diversity of their backgrounds both professionally and geographically. The on-line discussions and chats are going to be very interesting indeed. I can't wait for the 3rd March.
Secondly, this year (for the first time) we are setting up a mentoring system for new students. Our alumni and senior students have been very generous in signing up to be mentors. Bless you all......we need a few more - so if any of you are reading this blog, please contact me.
Finally this is promising to be a very productive year in terms of research. We have a couple of very interesting international initiatives happening. Also our students are doing some really good on-line research.

I will keep you posted on our other research activities during 2008.
Keep well and happy
