Karen Manley

I am the International Student Support Manager and I have worked in the area of international student support since 1994 at two other universities and a college of further education, all in the city of Birmingham.  I have an interest in Japan after completing my joint-honours degree in Japanese Studies and Music and then participating in the JET Programme in Saitama, Japan.  The trip with International students that I enjoyed most was to Paris for four days. 

Chris Hargreaves

After 20 years teaching in Stoke-on-Trent and then managing the Playing for Success study scheme at Port Vale Football Club, I recently started working at Keele University in the role of International Student Support Officer.  With a background in student mentoring, I look forward to supporting international and EU students in experiencing everything Keele University has to offer - both academically and socially.

A keen cyclist, I can be seen most mornings slowly climbing Keele Bank on my trusty Brompton.  All shouts of encouragement will be much appreciated!
