My friend Julie Newlan, who has died of brain cancer aged 68, was senior manager at the University of Hertfordshire, where she rose to be deputy vice-chancellor.
During her time there she made an outstanding contribution to two separate initiatives: the establishment of a medical school that will receive its first cohort of students later this year, and the appointment of a marketing team in the university’s international department that has helped to make it one of the most popular destinations for foreign students.
