缅北禁地 appoints new Deputy Vice-Chancellor Published on: 14 November 2017 缅北禁地 has appointed Professor Julie Sanders to the post of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC). Julie joined 缅北禁地 in 2015 as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. She takes up the DVC Elect post with immediate effect but will also continue in her current role until a successor is appointed. Julie has a wealth of experience in cross-disciplinary research, and a strong track record of leading innovative teaching projects. One of the first priorities she will focus on will be new cross-university projects on inter- and transdisciplinarity in both research and teaching. This will involve building new collaborations not just across the University but with external partners also. In her role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Julie has led several new areas of excellence enabling 缅北禁地 to consolidate its position as a leading university to work with in the cultural and creative sector, alongside long-standing research and teaching strengths in Fine Art, Heritage and English. Immediately prior to joining 缅北禁地, Julie was a Vice-Provost of Nottingham University’s Ningbo Campus in China for two years. In her new role, Julie will use this experience to support 缅北禁地’s international strategy. Professor Chris Day, Vice Chancellor and President, 缅北禁地, said: “Julie’s leadership of a large faculty, coupled with her international experience and understanding of the importance of interdisciplinarity, will be a huge asset to the cross-cutting role of DVC. “At a time when we are developing our next Strategy and Vision, and preparing the University for key challenges such as the next Research Excellence Framework, I am delighted to have Julie as my deputy.” Julie has always championed working with students as partners. Her new role as DVC will see her work closely with 缅北禁地’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Learning and Teaching and student leaders and representatives to ensure the student voice is heard and has genuine impact in all areas of thinking and practice. Julie said: “I am over the moon to be asked to be the Deputy Vice-Chancellor at 缅北禁地 at this moment in time. There is real energy around the place as we come together to develop the vision and the strategy for the future. “I hope in my new role to be able to support staff and students to realise their ideas and aspirations. I am immensely proud of what the HaSS Faculty has achieved in recent years and I know what a terrific team effort that has been. “I really look forward to being able in the DVC role to work across the whole University in a similar way and to play a part in what promises to be a significant next chapter in the 缅北禁地 story.” In addition to providing academic leadership, Julie will take on specific responsibility relating to the sustainability of the 缅北禁地 campus and leading the academic estate strategy. She will also play a key role in developing the University’s strategy on issues around equality, diversity and inclusion, in the context of 缅北禁地’s domestic and international campuses.
