Alumni are invited to join our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ian H White FREng, for our Annual General Meeting of Convocation on Wednesday 12 June at the University of Bath. Papers for this meeting will be available a week in advance.

This is your opportunity to hear about the University’s plans for the future from our new Vice-Chancellor and speak with your elected representative, Christine Gibbons (BPharm Pharmacy 1978). Refreshments will be served. Please register by contacting alumni@bath.ac.uk.

The University Council has been considering its size and composition following the recommendations of the Halpin Review in 2018. One recommendation was to reduce the size of Council. It has therefore agreed to reduce from 26 to 21 members, still including at least one alumna/us lay member, but this would not be a member directly appointed by Convocation. Christine Gibbons as the current appointed member has been consulted and is supportive of the change. A request to change the relevant Statute is therefore being put to the Privy Council.
