The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Hamilton, has just announced his intention to become the next President of New York University. He will leave the University at the end of December and assume his new appointment in early 2016. |
|
Needless to say, he has been a joy to work with and we have all benefited from his vision, commitment and infectious enthusiasm. And in turn, he has certainly found strength and support through the alumni community. Upon the announcement, he said: ‘Oxford’s alumni are the lifeblood of this institution. You are our advocates and ambassadors around the world and it has been my privilege to meet many of you in my travels around the UK and more globally.’ |
|
Happily, we have nine more months in which to work with the Vice-Chancellor and we look forward to making the most of the time. For more information about the announcement please visit: www.alumni.ox.ac.uk/news-vice-chancellor. |

Meanwhile, the process of choosing his successor in Oxford is well-advanced. A committee charged with nominating the next Vice-Chancellor is expected to bring forward a name for approval by early June. |
