The General Council

Business Committee Social Event

A small social event took place in the Playfair Library on Friday 22 October

This was an opportunity to offer personal thanks to members who had demitted office during the Covid lockdown period, for their years of service, including the outgoing Convener of the Business Committee, Professor Stuart Macpherson.

Senior staff members were also invited and we were particularly pleased that the Principal was able to attend to receive, on behalf of his senior team, the warm appreciation expressed by the Convener of the Business Committee, Sir Philip Mawer, for their exemplary leadership of the University through the enormous challenges posed by the pandemic to every aspect of the University's life and the assurance of our continuing support and good wishes for the challenges ahead.
