Jane Usherwood, Secretary General of Universitas 21, said: “Universitas 21 is delighted that Professor David Eastwood has been elected by his fellow university presidents to lead our network for the next two years. Over the 17 years since we were founded, the network has developed collaborative projects in the areas of student experience, educational innovation and researcher engagement and Professor Eastwood’s leadership in these, and other areas where we work together, will prove invaluable in maximising the potential such an established set of relationships might bring. We look forward to working with him to capitalise on the exciting opportunities for our members, students and staff.
