Jill Stevenson

AMOSSHE Chair, Director of Student Life, Robert Gordon University

Jill has been the Chair of AMOSSHE for the last four years. Here are her priorities for 2023-2025 to build on previous achievements:

• Represent our members and continue to build strong partnerships to proactively influence strategy, policy, and investment in Student Services.
• Build a proactive narrative to convey the positive and vital impact of Student Services on students and institutional success.
• Lead the development of a new communications strategy for AMOSSHE. This will enable us to communicate our core message more proactively, ensuring we influence at the right fora at the right time, and that we are equipped to respond effectively to emerging issues.
• Lead the Executive team to refresh the AMOSSHE strategy. I will ensure that this represents the views of our diverse membership and positions us strongly to be financially sustainable and effective, whilst continuing to be agile enough to support our members through the inevitable changes and challenges ahead.

Jill pledges to collaborate with our members and partners to position the student experience and Student Services at the top of the agenda for university leaders, policy makers, funders, and regulators. She will continue to dedicate strong vision, great passion and energy, coupled with 15 years of experience in higher education, laterally as Director of Student Services and Dean of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Jill truly love leading AMOSSHE and believe in the power of strong collaboration and an inclusive approach in all that she does.
