What happens when a Vice Chancellor sits down with students to tackle their toughest questions - on camera?

In this episode of The University Comms Podcast, Gareth Hughes speaks to Jules Maclachlan, who has led a step change in leadership engagement. From the award-winning Oxford Road Chats video series to “Ask Me Anything” open meetings, we explore how real dialogue, unscripted conversations, and visible leadership are reshaping the relationship between students and their university.

We talk about the risks, the reactions, and the results - and what other institutions can learn if they want to build trust in challenging times.
