"The University of Sunderland literally changed my life. I never considered coming to university when I was a kid - I didn't even know working class people could go to university! - but coming to Sunderland really gave me confidence in my own ability. I really believe in what the University stands for, and I think I owe it a lot - so while they continue to change people's lives, I'll continue to work for them. The University is a great place to work, with lots of benefits, but my main reason for working here is the people. I have rarely come across anyone who is not passionate and committed to what they do. People work here because they really believe in the University's ethos - and I think that is a very rare thing".

Donna Chambers - Reader in Tourism, Faculty of Business and Law

"I have been working at the University since October 2013. I like that the University engages with its external community and the fact that there are always events and opportunities to participate in University and external activities. The thing I enjoy the most about my job is the flexibility of it and the opportunity to make a positive change to the lives of students and a contribution to their further development and success."
