Dear colleagues,
I am writing to let you know that Professor Bashir Makhoul, Rector of the Winchester Campus and Head of School, has been appointed Pro Vice-Chancellor, Academic Portfolio and Market Development, at Birmingham City University, from 1 November, 2013. Since he joined us, in 2005, Bashir has imaginatively driven the development and growth of Winchester School of Art.
We are pleased to announce that Ed D’Souza, currently Head of Department (Graphics, Art and Media) at Winchester School of Art, has accepted the role of acting Head of School, until a new Head of School is appointed. Ed will work with Bashir in this transitional period.
We wish Bashir every success in his new post.
Professor Adam Wheeler
Provost and Deputy Vice Chancellor
