Tracey Urwin, Executive Director: Student, Library and Academic Services

Tracey joined Northumbria University in 2006 as a Strategic Projects Manager to help launch the then new School of Design building in City Campus East.  Her role was to build connections with local businesses, communities and partners to embed the school in the region. 

During her time at Northumbria she has held both Faculty and central service roles spending most of her career in Global Business and Marketing (GM&B) gaining experience in marketing, recruitment, admissions, market research, portfolio management and compliance.    

In 2022 she left her role as Deputy Director of GM&B to lead a University project focussed on improving our customer experience, creating greater collaboration across GM&B and SLAS (Student Library and Academic Services) for the benefit of the customer. 

She joined SLAS as Executive Director in September 2025.
