How can I attend?
Whether it’s your academic experience, student mental health or those dreaded tuition fees, in this special live session Professor Buitendijk will be on hand to provide her thoughts, take on board yours, and open up a dialogue on how students can work in partnership with the University to create the best education possible.
The Q&A will be streamed live on YouTube and Facebook so it couldn’t be easier to get involved – and we want to hear from as many students as possible. Got a question? Email your Union Affairs Officer or use the hashtag #AskVCSimone on the night.
Who is Professor Buitendijk?
Professor Buitendijk took up the role of Vice Chancellor earlier this year, stepping into the post at a uniquely challenging time for the Higher Education sector. Joining us from a senior leadership role at Imperial College London, and with prior experience at Leiden University and numerous other organisations in the Netherlands, Buitendijk has extensive experience focused on equality, diversity and inclusion as well as education and online learning. She has already expressed her keenness to hear from members of our community about their hopes for the future of the University – so don’t miss this brilliant opportunity to get your voice heard.
