President of Imperial College London
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 6 min
The president of Imperial College London is the highest academic official of Imperial College London.[1] The president, formerly known as the rector, is the chief executive, elected by the council of the college and chairman of the senate.[2] The position is currently held by Hugh Brady, who succeeded Alice Gast in August 2022.
In 2012 the responsibilities were separated into two posts, the president & rector whose duty is to "promote Imperial's position as a global university" and provost who will "be responsible for advancing and delivering the College's core academic mission - education, research and translation."[3] Alice Gast now serves as president & rector, while James Stirling became the first provost of Imperial College London in August 2013.[4]
The rector's residence is a large house on Queen's Gate, at the southwest corner of the college's campus in South Kensington, London.
