Episode 9: Life's Just Fine at BIVB University

This latest episode in the My Imaginary University podcast series stars Ben Vulliamy, Executive Director at AHUA, the Association of Heads of University Administrators. 

Ben creates an interesting and distinctive Yorkshire-based university which is busy connecting with everyone and everything but has no time for mission groups. It enthusiastically partners with organisations and agencies across the country to deliver education and research in novel ways and places, from Grimsby to East London.

Good citizenship is central to every part of student life and, working closely with the students' union, the aim is to have the healthiest students around. There are also some novel approaches to hotel-style student accommodation and food and beverage provision.

Ben, unsurprisingly perhaps, sees himself as Registrar rather than Vice-Chancellor of this new university and, having a culture which fosters constant reflection among the student population is confident that everything will be just fine.
