As Deputy HoD for People and Culture and Senior Tutor, Ann has invested a huge amount of effort into making our department a better place for everybody. She is an active member of our EDI Committee, academic lead for our Athena SWAN self-assessment team, and led the development of new recruitment processes to help build a strong and inclusive culture and attract more diverse applicants to our department. In response to the staff survey, Ann established an online feedback form as a confidential means for colleagues to report any issues or concerns or make suggestions to improve life in the Department. Ann is incredibly compassionate and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her colleagues and our student community. She always has time to check in on people, and speak up on behalf of those who cannot, despite the personal challenges she herself has faced over recent months. We wanted to take this opportunity to let Ann know how much she is appreciated and to thank her for the positive difference she is making for us all.
