The Bristol Lowdown: Episode 10 - Academic Special ft. PVC Sarah Purdy

As a student, there can often feel a disconnect between your university experience and those high-level academics that manage and the institution of which you are a part. To help shed some light on the humanity of these academics we spoke to Pro Vice Chancellor Sarah Purdy who, along with David Ion (UG Education Officer) showed us just how close those academics are to us.
