“It will be a pleasure to connect with UCL’s wider community, including our students, staff, alumni, academic and industry partners, and donors – to plan and deliver an inspiring programme of events that marks and celebrates UCL’s pioneering achievements over the past 200 years and signals the extraordinary impact that UCL will have over the next 200.”

Hazel has a tremendous breadth of knowledge of UCL and is extremely skilled at leading big cross-institution projects and delivering results. I cannot think of a better person to lead on our bicentenary and bring our whole community together in a celebration of our achievements, both past and future. I'm already looking forward to hearing about her plans for this landmark anniversary."
