Lincoln City Foundation Trustee

Lincoln City Foundation Trustee

Lincoln International Business School’s (LIBS), Dr Hanya Pielichaty (Associate Professor) was successfully selected as a Trustee for Lincoln City Foundation in September this year. A competitive recruitment process resulted in both our University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Neal Juster, and Hanya joining the Board. These connections will further strengthen our strong bonds with Lincoln City Foundation and our community.

Over the past three decades, football has formed a significant part of Hanya’s personal and professional life through both playing (Lincoln City Ladies FC and West Bromwich Albion Women FC) and scholarship (see Pielichaty, 2021).

Hanya is a passionate advocate for social justice and inclusion with expertise in sports, equity and education. As well as running the MSc (Hons) International Sports Business Management degree in LIBS, Hanya is also the Director of Student Inclusion with the Eleanor Glanville Institute which involves leading inclusive education projects institutionally. Hanya is looking forward to harnessing her expertise to help Lincoln City  Foundation successfully deliver their five year strategy, striving for happier, healthier, inspired communities.

Hanya commented, “I am delighted to be appointed as a Trustee for Lincoln City Foundation, an opportunity which brings together my love for football and community engagement. I hope that my experience of working and researching in sports and particularly sports and social (in)justice will be valuable to the Foundation going forward. I am very much looking forward to learning from colleagues on the Board and contributing positively to the lives of others through the transformative qualities of football”.

We all wish Hanya the very best of luck with her new role.
