Congratulations to our Vice Chancellor Professor Mary Stuart who has been awarded The Guardian Inspiring Leader 2018 Award. The University of Lincoln said: This high profile award recognises inspirational leadership within the UK higher education sector and celebrates institutions and leaders who have had a far-reaching impact on higher education, who have encouraged innovation and demonstrated visionary thinking. The winner was decided by a public vote. This award celebrates Mary’s emphasis on staff and students working together to make the University ‘one community’.

In her speech last night, Mary said: “This is an award which recognises all the staff and students at Lincoln. Our University goes from strength to strength because it is home to extraordinary people who are truly passionate about higher education and research and who fundamentally believe that an exceptional student experience should be at the heart of any university. It is also a recognition of our city which provides a welcoming and supportive home to our student population. I am delighted to see Lincoln recognised in this way.” Continue reading →
