On behalf of the Board, we thank Professor Young for his hard work and services during his time at Edge Hill University and we wish him well in his future endeavours.
Chief Operating Officer Lynn Hill, and Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange and Dean of Faculty of Arts and Sciences Professor George Talbot, will together oversee the Vice-Chancellor’s responsibilities. The Board of Governors are incredibly grateful to them for providing this collaborative leadership.
Lynn and George will be supported by Chief Governance Officer Dr Jo Wright and the established Senior Leadership Team, while the Board of Governors plan to recruit a new Vice-Chancellor.
It is business as usual at Edge Hill and all staff are being fully supported to proceed with their work. All teaching, assessments and support services will continue uninterrupted to provide the best possible student experience.
