Warwick’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel Thrift has been appointed as a Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission Commissioner by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

Following the appointment of Nicola Owen as Deputy Registrar, I am delighted to announce that Dr Mike Glover has been appointed as Academic Registrar and will take up his new role in early October.

Warwick’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel Thrift is to be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Bristol this Friday in recognition of his many achievements within the field of geography. He will receive the honorary degree at Bristol’s summer graduation ceremony on Friday 9 July.

After almost 14 years in the University, Ken Sloan will step down from the role of Deputy Registrar  on 3 September to take up the position of Director for Universities and Higher Education at SERCO.  We wish him well.
