Crichton University Campus Advisory Board
Crichton University Campus brings together the Universities of Glasgow and Paisley, along with the local Colleges to build a unique Campus (currently 700 students) in Dumfries, which in time could well become the University of the South West of Scotland. The Principals of the two Universities and the Local Enterprise Company invited me to Chair and put together an Advisory Board covering all interested parties and geographies of the community to assist in the preparation and implementation of an operational strategy. The strategy has been prepared and the Board is now the prime ‘voice’ of the Campus with Government etc. in advancing key issues. As a result of the strategy and focused lobbying Government has increased funding to the Campus.
