Dear Members of the Law School Community,

I wanted to let you know that I have been appointed the next Provost and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Trinity College. After more than two fantastic decades at our law school, it is hard to imagine being elsewhere. I am very excited about taking on this wonderful new challenge but of course my feelings are also very mixed. I look forward to the opportunity to thank all of you who have made this such an amazing shared journey and to celebrate the law school we love.

All the best,

Mayo
