Ian Leslie

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our former colleague Ian Leslie. Ian was one of the founding Deans of Faculty at the University of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Islands (ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï) until his retirement. He made a significant contribution to creating ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and was instrumental in driving the success of our health provision in its early days.

Ian worked tirelessly as a strategic leader, supporting the progression of the university from a ‘project’ to an ‘institution.’ His contributions were highly significant, and his legacy lives on today, reflected in many aspects of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. 

Our thoughts are with Ian’s family during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
