As a person connected with our local university over many years and as an alumni, I now look forward to Fridays like never before.

In historical terms those in key positions at the University often tend to be remote and not available in any way, shape or form to those associated with the university at a lower level.

The new vice chancellor, Scott Bowman, has changed all that. He writes a weekly piece titled “ Friday musings“. In it he shares with everyone important news coming from our university. Here we have a Vice-Chancellor keeping in touch with everybody connected with the university and that is wonderful.He writes a weekly piece titled “ Friday musings“.

It is just so good to be kept in the loop and to know what is going on at the University. That news is updated every Friday, so it is no wonder that I now look forward to Friday’s like never before.

How I wishother leaders of both departments and industry would take a leaf from the Bowman example.
