Meet the new University Chancellor

This will definitely have a great effect on your life


The Right Honourable Lady Justice Rafferty, DBE – a graduate of the University of Sheffield and one of UK’s leading Judges, has been appointed as a new Chancellor.

Following the retirement of Sir Peter Middleton, in summer 2015, University Council has approved the appointment of Lady Justice Rafferty, Dame Anne – with her strong belief in universities and their important role in society.

We agree, and will rest easy in the knowledge of her appointment.

Does anyone know what Chancellors even do?

The University online homepage has been emblazoned with a feature size image of her face ever since the news, and understandably so given the huge effect this appointment’s going to have on your day to day life.

Dame Anne said: “The University gave me so much that I have always felt in its debt. This privilege – which means the world to me – begins my opportunity to repay.

“Sheffield is a world-class player for good reason: its research contribution is outstanding, but it never forgets that university life begins with undergraduates and depends on inspiring teaching and leadership.”

You know it sister.
