We’ve launched a series of videos about our Strategy, including a wide-ranging interview with our Vice-Chancellor, updates on the faculty restructure and the transformation of our estate and information technology, which answer some of the questions you may have been asking yourself recently.
The updates are introduced by Professor Jim Anderson, incoming Associate Dean (Education) for the Faculty of Social Sciences. They feature:
- the new Deans
- Kevin Monaghan (Executive Director of Estates and Facilities)
- Professor Alex Neill (Vice-President Education)
- Professor Simon Cox (Chief Information Officer)
- Ian Dunn (Chief Operating Officer)
All staff have been sent an email with these videos and there are further opportunities to watch them using the links below.

Internal Communications has been exploring different channels which we can use to tell you about major change at the University. Many of you have told us that you enjoy watching video content so this is the first series created by our new Internal Communications Video Production Studio.
This is a new development for us and we’re still grappling with the technology, but we’d love to hear what you think about the videos and whether you’d like us to do things differently. You can email us at [email protected].
