Corporation Members - Sylvia Meli

Election statement

I believe passionately in education; I went to university twice, Leicester (Social Science) and Oxford (MBA). I even married an academic.

I believe Central Sussex College plays a key role in helping guide the opinions, behaviour and maturity of their students. I am very keen to support the staff in doing this.

I know that life is about making choices and that students need to be helped to make informed choices for their future careers. I chose to work in advertising as a strategic planner for 27 years - a good call or not you may ask…. Now I am working less stressfully as a consultant, which gives me some free time to “put something back”.
