Dr Adam Dawkins will be leaving the University at the end of January 2024 to take up the newly created role of Deputy Academic Registrar (Student and Academic Governance) at the University of Sunderland.

Adam joined the University of York in June 2019, initially as Head of Governance and Assurance, followed by being appointed to the new position of University Secretary in December 2020. Adam brought a wealth of governance experience and expertise with him and will be missed by all who have worked with him. We all wish him every success for the future.
