News: Plymouth Marjon University’s inaugural Chancellor, the Rt Rev’d Nick McKinnel, concludes term of office

Bishop Nick will be stepping down as Chancellor after a distinguished chapter of service to the University. Throughout his time as Chancellor, he has been a trusted ambassador, friend and inspiration to the University community.

His warmth, wisdom and deep commitment to education have made him a familiar and valued presence at graduations, celebrations and milestones throughout the years. Thousands of students have crossed the graduation stage under his stewardship, benefitting from his encouragement and genuine interest in their aspirations and achievements.

Professor Claire Taylor, Vice-Chancellor of Plymouth Marjon University, said: "Nick's kindness, humility and unwavering commitment to others have touched countless lives across our University community. He has celebrated our successes, supported us through challenges and always placed people at the heart of his service. It has been a privilege to work alongside him, and we thank him sincerely for everything he has given to Marjon."

As former Bishop of Plymouth and a long-standing champion of the region, Nick brought to the role a profound understanding of Marjon's unique character and purpose. Having served on the University's Board of Governors from 2015 to 2021 before becoming Chancellor, he played an important role in helping strengthen the University's connections with local communities, schools, churches and civic partners.
