Mrs Austin has appointed Lincoln’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Roger Field, as Acting Vice-Chancellor.

Professor Field has been Deputy Vice-Chancellor for the past five years and is no stranger to the Acting Vice-Chancellor’s role having filled it for seven months prior to Dr Wood’s appointment in March 1997.

Dr Wood came to Lincoln from a background of science management and was Chief Executive of the New Zealand Forest Research Institute, Rotorua, at the time of his appointment.
