Pamela Cumming - Schools Engagement Officer
Pam’s role at the University has changed dramatically since she joined the University 30 years ago.

By delivering workshops in schools and having the young people visiting the campus for taster days Pam aims raise awareness and aspirations of our young people in local schools but also develop their employability skills in the process. For a list of the workshops Pam delivers please email her.
