The Chair will bring energy, enthusiasm and personal passion to the role, and will lead the Council in its collective responsibility for defining and developing the educational character, strategy and mission of the University. We are proud of our recent achievements, including the opening of multi-million pound new facilities in Gloucester and Cheltenham, and are confident that we have a strong platform for further future success.
