THE NEW principal of Solihull College and University Centre and Stratford College has been announced.
Dr Rebecca Gater, who is the current vice principal for curriculum and quality, takes over the reins from September following the retirement of acting principal, Lindsey Stewart.
The position became vacant following the short illness and sudden death of John Callaghan in October 2021.
Rebecca first joined the College in 2016 as assistant principal and took on her current role three years later.
“This college is a special place, and it has made a huge impact on me personally and professionally in the six years that I have worked here,” she said.
“I have found myself in the midst of remarkable and talented people who are dedicated to their students, their departments, and their colleagues.
“I look forward to leading the college from the solid foundations that John Callaghan laid, to its next chapter.”
