It's official — Sir Patrick Stewart is stepping down as chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.
Sir Patrick – who is celebrated for his classic stage performances as well as TV and film roles, including Captain Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation – has been the figurehead of the university for a decade.
Sir Patrick’s links with the University will continue as he will become Emeritus Chancellor – and he is determined to continue to act as an ambassador for the institution.
Professor Bob Cryan, Vice-Chancellor of the University, said Sir Patrick would be a tough act to follow — and we think he's right!
