Bryan Knell

I am married to Marion and have 3 children and 8 grandchildren, one of which is currently a student at Loughborough.  I have now moved a fair way from Leicestershire but continue to maintain my links with the university, several churches and many individuals.

My second paid job was with international students, which we called overseas students in those far off days.  The majority of whom were from Africa.  I have always been tremendously impressed by students who have left the country, language, culture, family and customs they know so well, to come alone, sometimes at a very young age, to a strange land that can often seem unfriendly.  We have lots to learn from them.

I have always worked to encourage Loughborough to welcome international students, love them and help them reach their full potential as they will serve in many corners of our world.
