Dear colleagues,
As you know, Winnie Eley, our Vice-President (International), has been on a period of special leave for personal reasons since last September.
I am writing to inform you that she has recently informed me of her decision not to return to her role at Southampton, and she will formally step down from her post at the end of this month.
Winnie has worked with the senior team and across the University to consolidate Southampton’s international portfolio, from refreshing the international strategy to leading initiatives such as the 2019/20 international entry project, the Pricing & Scholarship Strategy, and the World Rankings Strategy. I know she has greatly appreciated the advice and feedback from many colleagues following workshops, town halls and meetings over the last year.
I would like to thank Winnie for her valuable contribution to the University and wish her every success in the future.
Best wishes,
Professor Mark E. Smith
Vice-Chancellor
