P-NUT WHATSAPP GROUP
The P-NUT WhatsApp group provides a place for us to talk to each other, look out for each other and contact fellow doctoral candidates for support. You can suggest your ideas (e.g., events to be organized) and get in touch with your peers.
P-NUT has two main WhatsApp groups: P-NUT InfoApp and a P-NUT SocialApp. In the P-NUT InfoApp, only a selected number of P-NUT Board member has write access to post announcements and other relevant information. The P-NUT SocialApp is meant for socializing. You can join the groups by clicking this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HO8JEqbxTxSF5a9Z0J4Mnw.
BENEFITS OF JOINING THE GROUP(S)
- Ask for help with regulations, or any other related assistance;
- Let your peers know if you’re self-isolating so someone can make sure you’re okay;
- Get informed about new events sooner than via the P-NUT newsletter;
- Initiate events by yourself (e.g., walking on Campus or having a daytrip to a recreation park);
- Share (important) updates from official P-NUT sources (e.g., about events, surveys, etc.).
SOME DRAWBACKS OF JOINING THE SOCIALAPP
- We want to caution against the sharing of misinformation or speculation in the group, but we hope it can serve as a useful resource for building an effective support network;
- We suggest to mute notifications from this group, as it can be SPAM-intensive.
