When I looked at Dr. Travers's record, I was delighted to see he had a huge personal interest in access, disability and empowering all students regardless of their situation and position. Listening to him speak about prioritising the development of transversal skills, resilience and early intervention gives me great hope for what we can expect to have from the Educational Research Centre.

I wish to ask Dr. Travers about his roles with the CAO, the Teaching Council and the governing authority of DCU. How will they inform him as chairperson designate? What characteristics will he bring the role?
