This is why I would like to serve as Chancellor of Oxford University - to raise its profile and utility. The Chancellorship could be completely different and better connect with the whole university community. I have the time, commitment and ability to do this, in support of the executive leadership of the university. I would want to meet, get to know and affirm everyone, from Vice Chancellor to the hard working group I met moving mattresses and beds around in one of the Colleges this week - and be the Chancellor for them all. The office of #Chancellor could engage with both the great events of the university but also its people, by getting to invest time in the community and represent its heart and soul. I may be the ‘outsider’ but I came to all the appointments I have held, as such. In each case, I have invested everything of myself in embodying the place, its people and their traditions. I serve to live out a balance of deep respect for worthy customs with a lightness of touch, which makes everything unstuffy and accessible. As an outsider, I bring no vested certainty of past practice, only an open mind to embrace all, especially the new. My representation and advocacy for the university, its mission, excellence, intent and history will be ‘evangelical’, in commitment, and unconfined. Conventional in appearance but utterly unconventional in style, I would love to serve University of Oxford in the years ahead.
