I am pleased to welcome you to the University and delighted that you have chosen to join us.

Sheffield is a great place to work and I hope you will be as impressed as I am by the quality and dedication demonstrated by the people here; by our excellence in learning and teaching; and by the world leading research conducted throughout all areas.

I hope too you will take the time to read and understand Our Shared Vision and how you play a part in making Sheffield the best it can be.

I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your time with us.
