It is now just over one month since I joined BU, after spending the last four years in China and Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (MSAR). First, I would like to say thanks to all those who helped answer questions, big and small as I settled into BU, Bournemouth and the UK. As my role will also focus on the departmental marketing and communications strategy, I will be reaching out to many of you within and outside the department for advice, tips and counsel.
