YUSU exists to promote and defend the educational and welfare interests of its membership and future membership, within the University and as part of the wider community. It also has over 250 clubs and societies and hosts a range of activities and events throughout the year for its members. The impact report shows the growth in YUSU’s range of activity and quality of impact on the student population. It demonstrates how the union is increasing its sphere of influence over the full breadth of the student experience. Increasingly we are supporting student employability, generating charitable fundraising for the community, providing employment opportunities for students, supporting student wellbeing, developing the college communities, providing a wider range of sporting opportunities and much more. The report reflects our performance over the second year of our three year strategic plan and shows a maturing organisation that is increasingly focused on measuring the impact it has on the lives of students. As we prepare to finish our plan and implement a new long term strategy we believe we have created a sound platform for building upon our successes.

Image: Lam Thuy Vo The University of York has announced that Professor Sir Malcolm Grant is to be its new Chancellor from 1 August next year. He is to be the sixth Chancellor in the University’s 51-year history, succeeding Greg Dyke, chairman of the FA and former Director-General of the BBC, who has held the position for a decade. As Chancellor, the formal head of the University, Grant will be expected to award degrees on behalf of the University and to chair the University’s Court, as well as act as an ambassador for the institution. He said: “I am honoured to become Chancellor of this great university which has always represented a set of unimpeachable values. It has a passionate belief in social justice, freedom of speech, a respect for the individual and, above all, a commitment to the highest academic standards. “I look forward to helping the University to achieve the next phase of its development at an enormously challenging time for Higher Education globally.” Grant is currently chairman of NHS England, which aims to improve the quality of the country’s healthcare. As well holding many other roles, he was President and Provost of UCL between 2003 and 2013, and previously Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge and Professor and Head of Department of Land Economy.
