Bournemouth University appoints new Pro Vice-Chancellor
Professor Bennett joined Bournemouth University in 2002, and his most recent position was Dean of the School of Applied Sciences. His research into Quaternary Sedimentology and Geomorphology – that is studying landforms and sediments of the last 2 million years – has received international recognition. Professor Bennett thinks that research is key to Bournemouth University’s future, he says, “Research is fundamental to what we have to offer and should underpin the whole of our student experience and our international strategy. We need to be doing research and offering research services that are driven by society and not simply determined by our own introspective interests. The twin aims of academic excellence and societal relevance are the ones I wish to see BU embrace as a new research strategy emerges in the coming months.” Professor Bennett takes up the post of Pro Vice-Chancellor with immediate effect but will also remain Dean of the School of Applied until April 2011.
