Coventry University is looking for new people to join its Board
of Governors from September 2011 and welcomes anyone who may be
interested.
The Board of Governors carries responsibility for ensuring the
effective management of the University and for planning its future
development.
The board is made up of individuals drawn from outside the
University with experience in the areas of business, industry,
commerce and other professional and charitable sectors.
Governors are involved with overseeing the University's
activities, determining its future direction and fostering an
environment in which the University's mission is achieved and the
potential of students is maximised.
The term of office for a University governor is usually a fixed
term of 3 years, with the option to serve for a further term.
Appointments are of a public service nature and therefore are not
remunerated. The University will, however, meet reasonable expenses
claims.
It is an exciting time to be part of the Board of Governors as
Coventry is investing £150m on redeveloping the campus and
enhancing its reputation in the global education market with
partnerships already established in China, India, Hong Kong and
Malaysia, to name but a few.
Also in September 2010, the University opened a London Campus
which offers a range of business-orientated courses for
international students.
Anyone interested in becoming a Governor should send an
up-to-date CV, together with a brief statement of what they can
bring to the role to: the Clerk of the Board of Governors, Matt
Challoner, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry CV1 5FB.
Telephone 024 7688 7696.
Alternatively, you can e-mail
matthew.challoner@coventry.ac.uk
All applications need to arrive no later than Friday,15 April
2011.
The University is committed to a policy of equality and
diversity and welcomes expressions of interest from all sections of
the community.
