University is a powerful driver of social mobility🌟 Chelsea didn't think that going to uni was for Travellers like herself. Since graduating from St Mary's University, she's gone on to work in the education sector and has completed a Master's at King's College London 🎓 #SocialMobilityDay

I’m honoured to be joining University of Chichester as its new Vice-Chancellor. It’s a fantastic university - TEF Gold rated, with an excellent student & staff experience, and a rich history of addressing social inequalities. I look forward to building on these successes.
