New rector

TV presenter and TICR Patron Lorraine Kelly has beaten Lesley Riddoch and David Shayler in the recent elections for the University's new rector.

The inauguration ceremony and "drag" will take place later this spring, when Lorraine will officially take over from current rector Fred McAulay. She will hold office for three years, representing the students on University Court.

Lorraine said, "I am delighted to be elected as Rector and I see my job as representing the students and helping them in any way I can. Dundee University is an exciting vibrant place of learning and I am proud to have the chance to tell the world about the wonderful work that is being done here. I am really looking forward to the next three years."

President of the Students' Association Chris Bustin said, "We are delighted that Lorraine won the election and we are confident that she will be an excellent representative for our students."
