Dr Zoe Robinson has been appointed as Director of Education for Sustainability, to provide the lead for integrating sustainability into the Keele curriculum and student experience. 

Professor Marilyn Andrews (PVC for Education and the Student Experience) said: "This role has been created to help Keele achieve its goal of becoming an 'environmentally aware and sustainable outward facing campus community' and to help embed sustainability into the student experience through the Distinctive Keele Curriculum.  Zoe's experience and commitment make her the ideal person to lead this initiative." 

Zoe has been extremely active in studying and disseminating issues of sustainability, and is involved both in large research projects covering energy awareness in communities and issues of fuel poverty, and with educational projects that work with students and the public to help raise their awareness of sustainability issues. 

She has been involved with around 20 project grants on sustainability, leads the innovative 'Greening Business' module, and was awarded a Keele Excellence Award for Learning and Teaching in 2008.

Zoe said: "I'm delighted to be taking on the role of Keele's first Director of Education for Sustainability.  I look forward to the opportunity of working with staff to support the development of sustainability initiatives within their programmes, and equally to working with students to ensure that sustainability is a key part of their experience, both in their core curriculum and through other activities."

Zoe said that she would be delighted to receive suggestions and comments from staff or students on ways in which sustainability can best be built into the Keele experience.
