Professor Teresa Rees CBE AcSS

Teresa's main responsibilities will include keeping in touch with the leadership and organisational development needs of Welsh higher education institutions and developing programmes and initiatives for them.

Teresa has recently completed six years as Pro Vice-Chancellor at Cardiff University, where she is currently an Associate PVC and a Professor in the School of Social Sciences. She has also chaired two high profile Commissions of Inquiry on higher education funding and student support for the Welsh Assembly Government.

Speaking about her appointment, Teresa said:

“I am delighted to have this opportunity to work with the Leadership Foundation and colleagues across Wales to enhance leadership in our higher education institutions. The sector faces some serious challenges and imaginative and bold leadership, drawing on the best training and consultancy from the Leadership Foundation, now and in the future will be essential”.

Yr Athro Teresa Rees CBE AcSS

Mae prif gyfrifoldebau Teresa'n cynnwys cadw mewn cysylltiad ag anghenion sefydliadau addysg uwch Cymru o safbwynt datblygu arweinyddiaeth a threfniadaeth, gan ddatblygu rhaglenni a mentrau iddyn nhw.

Yn ddiweddar mae Teresa wedi cwblhau chwe blynedd fel Dirprwy Is-Ganghellor Prifysgol Caerdydd, lle mae’n Athro yn Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Mae’n gynghorydd arbenigol i Gyfarwyddiaeth Ymchwil y Comisiwn Ewropeaidd ac mae wedi cadeirio dau Gomisiwn Ymchwil o bwys i Lywodraeth Cymru ynghylch cyllid addysg uwch a chymorth i fyfyrwyr.

Wrth siarad am ei phenodiad, dywedodd Teresa:

“Dwi wrth fy modd yn cael y cyfle yma i weithio gyda'r Sefydliad Arweinyddiaeth a chydweithwyr ledled Cymru i wella arweinyddiaeth yn ein sefydliadau addysg uwch. Mae’r sector yn wynebu heriau o bwys a bydd arweinyddiaeth ddewr a llawn dychymyg, sy’n defnyddio’r hyfforddiant a’r ymgynghoriaeth orau sydd ar gael gan y Sefydliad Arweinyddiaeth yn hanfodol, nawr ac yn y dyfodol”.
