Inspirational Leadership in HE

29 February 2016

Mary Curnock-Cook, Chief Executive of UCAS and currently an Academic Visitor at Hertford, has been shortlisted as a contender for the title of most inspiring leader in Higher Education in 2016.

The shortlist, drawn up by the Guardian Higher Education Network’s expert panel, also includes Oxford’s new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Louise Richardson, and Sir Keith Burnett, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield (who was formerly Head of the Division of Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences here in Oxford!). If you’d like to vote for any of them, why not click here for further details.
