Senior BBC Executive to Chair BGU Council
The BBC’s new Editorial Director Roger Mosey has been appointed as Chair of Bishop Grosseteste University’s Council. Mr Mosey, who was recently appointed to lead major editorial projects and issues across TV, radio and online at the BBC, takes over from Haydn Beeken as chair of the university’s equivalent of a company board. In doing so he will be renewing old associations with the city of Lincoln: his BBC career began in 1980 when he joined BBC Radio Lincolnshire as a reporter. “It’s a great honour for me to be asked to serve as Chair of the Council at Bishop Grosseteste University,” he said. “I feel a very close affinity for the city of Lincoln, having begun my BBC career just a short walk from the university campus. I’m a believer in the enormous value of education and I’m looking forward to contributing to the development of Bishop Grosseteste University, which is a unique and precious institution.” The Reverend Professor Peter Neil, Vice Chancellor at BGU, welcomed Mr Mosey’s appointment as a sign of the university’s growing stature locally and nationally. “Roger Mosey is a distinguished and award-winning broadcaster and a hugely influential figure in the UK media,” he said. “We are delighted that he will be leading the University Council as we begin the next phase of our development.” Roger Mosey was born in Bradford in 1958 and began his career in broadcasting when he joined Pennine Radio in his home city as a Community Affairs Producer. He has been Editor of the BBC’s flagship Radio 4 Today programme, Controller of BBC Radio 5 Live, Head of BBC Television News and most recently the BBC’s Director of London 2012 responsible for the corporation’s widely acclaimed coverage of the 2012 Games. He also led coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2006 FIFA World Cup, brought Formula One racing back to terrestrial BBC TV and recruited James Naughtie as a presenter on the Today programme. Mr Beeken steps down as Chair at the conclusion of the maximum eight years of service on the Council. Professor Neil added “The university is enormously grateful to Haydn Beeken for his skilful chairing of the Council and his committed contribution to the development of the university.” The University Council has ultimate responsibility for the affairs of the university. It operates under the Instrument and Articles of Government for the university. It has a number of responsibilities, including:o the character of the institution as a Church of England universityo the determination of the educational character and mission of the universityo the effective and efficient use of resourceso approving annual estimates of income and expenditureo the appointment of the Vice Chancellor and senior staff The Chair of the University Council is an unpaid role.

Bishop Grosseteste University up for Two National Awards
The 2013 Bishop Grosseteste University prospectus, produced in-house by the BGU marketing team, has been shortlisted for two national awards. The university has been placed in the ‘Best Undergraduate Prospectus’ and ‘Best Prospectus from a Specialist Institution’ categories at this year’s HEIST Awards, a national awards ceremony that celebrates innovation and excellence in education marketing. Produced by the university’s marketing department, the design of the 2013 prospectus was based on student feedback from previous publications. This is the first time the university’s marketing team has been shortlisted for a national award, and they believe their hard work researching, rewriting and redesigning the prospectus is what helped them to succeed. Ben Rook, Marketing Manager at BGU, said that he felt that the 2013 prospectus needed a more personal approach: “We rewrote this prospectus completely, making a real effort to talk directly to the reader to ensure a much more personal feel. “BGU is a unique university and has such a strong community spirit. We worked very hard to make sure that the prospectus captured as much of this spirit as possible to show potential students what a great place it really is.” The BGU team has included quotes and stories from current students about the courses, activities and social aspects of studying and living in Lincoln. “We’re aware that prospective students want to see a university’s credentials not only from the perspective of the institution itself, but also from the students who attend it. I’m delighted with the outcome and the national recognition we’ve received.” The winners of the 2013 HEIST awards will be announced during a ceremony on Thursday 11th July 2013 at the Renaissance Hotel in Manchester. Other nominees in the Best Undergraduate Prospectus category include the University of Nottingham, the University of Cambridge and the University of Leicester.

New Vice Chancellor Starts Today at BGU
A new Vice Chancellor has taken up his post at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln today (Wednesday, 1 May). The Reverend Professor Peter Neil has taken the reins at the university after moving south from the University of the West of Scotland, where he was Interim Executive Dean of the Faculty of Education, Health and Social Sciences. Professor Neil has a distinguished academic record in the fields of education and theology and has been a prominent figure in the world of Scottish higher education. “I have been looking forward to coming to Lincoln for months now but nothing could have prepared me for the very warm welcome to the city and for the overwhelming support which has been shown to me on campus,” said Professor Neil. “The university is in a very strong position, having reached many landmarks in the last year. We need to be prepared, however, not to rest on our laurels, to look for new opportunities and to face inevitable challenges as we move on into the next phase in our story. “I am delighted to be part of this institution at this particular time and feel that we, as a team of staff and students, are well equipped to take BGU further as a university.” Professor Neil was born on the Isle of Bute on the west coast of Scotland. After working as a teacher of modern languages in Scotland he moved to Belfast where he became a senior lecturer in Education at Queen’s University Belfast. Whilst at Queen’s he completed a PhD in Education and began studying theology. In 2003 he took up the role of director of Education and Lifelong learning at Aberystwyth University, subsequently returning to his native Scotland as Head of the School of Education at the University of the West of Scotland. With a wide range of research interests centred on education and on theology Professor Neil has written books on language teaching, Continuous Professional Development and teacher mentoring. He has researched topics ranging from language education to school leadership and ordinary theology, publishing in academic journals and speaking at international conferences. Professor Neil succeeds Professor Muriel Robinson who retired last week after almost ten years in charge of BGU.
