I am also leading on an alumni strategy for continuing to engage the over 11,000 students who have connected with U21 since 2020 as well as continuing to manage several groups of senior and other stakeholders from our 28 partner universities. Responsibilities and projects: Reimagining the Future for U21 - Sustainable partnerships (6 month research and stakeholder engagement project on sustainable internationalisation - informed Business Strategy approved by Executive committee), managing external consultants on outsourced projects and programmes, negotiating contracts and invoicing for external partnerships, budget management, management of student administrators and network support officer.
