		<description><![CDATA[Chamberlain Forum and CN4B are very sadly saying goodbye at the end of January to our project manager, Tippa Naphtali. He has been part of our team for nearly two years, and has worked closely with us to develop and deliver Resident University, as well as CN4B programmes.
In particular, Tippa has transformed Resident University Online learning, as well as setting up a highly successful mentoring project, which we aim to find a way of continuing in the future. ]]></description>
