Dear All,
You will be interested to know that Professor Margaret Evans, Dean of the
Science Faculty and former HoD of Dept. Information Science at Loughborough
University, has recently accepted the appointment of Pro-Vice Chancellor
(Strategic Planning) at De Montfort University. We, in the Department, are
both sad and glad to see her go - sad that she is leaving us after over 20
years in Loughborough, and glad that she has seized an opportunity for
further career development. I am sure that you will join me in wishing her
all the best for her future career.
It will be of further interest that we will be advertising for a
Professorial replacement for Margaret. The following advert will appear
next week (w/c 4 September) in The Guardian (Tuesday) and The Higher.
