Professorial promotions celebration - 2 July 2018

A promotion to Professor is a professional and personal achievement - it recognises and highlights tenacity, drive and dedication, as well as internationally acknowledged work and research.

I was delighted to attend Warwick's very first professorial promotions celebration at the start of July and personally congratulate 2018's cohort of promoted academics. They have demonstrated outstanding leadership and collegiality during their time here at Warwick, contributing a great deal to student experience and engagement across their departments and faculties.

I send my thanks and appreciation to these new Professors, and look forward to the next chapter in their academic careers."

If you have an idea about how to do something differently, the Warwick answer is almost invariably 'why not?'. Warwick has a willingness to experiment, to take risks, and to support innovation, that makes this University a continually exciting and inspiring place to work.”

Professor Michael Scott, Classics

Academics are given a great deal of autonomy and fantastic support for research, teaching, and professional development. Warwick has a vibrant and dynamic research environment, with considerable scope for developing interdisciplinary networks and collaborations."
