Imran Khan and Chris Taylor shaking hands.Welcome

Welcome to this month's edition of News & Views featuring the latest news from in and around the University of Bradford.

June's edition welcomes international cricket legend turned politician Imran Khan as the University's new Chancellor, who will succeed Baroness Betty Lockwood on her retirement on 31 July.

There's also news about the University's performance in recently published Higher Education league tables as well as success in being the first University to get the Customer First accreditation.

We also have news about how the ancient chariot burial site found at Ferrybridge in West Yorkshire is keeping staff in Archaeology busy, and news of how one of the JB Priestley Library's newest archives is celebrating the life of his wife Jacquetta Hawkes.

We also focus on people, with news of a new appointment at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Innovation, two new books, a PhD graduate who has been making a big impression, and two recent losses of a former lecturer and an honorary graduate.

We give examples of Research and Knowledge Transfer within the University including a two-year programme to encourage children to learn about science through games on their mobile phones, and a researcher who's been given a funding boost from the Department of Health.

Please send all contributions and comments for News & Views to the new Senior Press Officer at the University of Bradford, Oliver Tipper.
