Hi, I'm Debbie Keeling and I'm the Interim Executive Dean of the University of Sussex Business School.
As a student here, I hope that you will enjoy your time with us and be able to participate fully in the Business School community.
My aim as Interim Dean is for you to be given every opportunity to achieve your potential and enjoy success in your degree and life beyond Sussex.

Feel free to stop me in the Business School, say hello, and let me know what you think about how we're doing!
