Steven Traynor

Steven is an Independent Member of Court.

Reason for joining Court

I am a product of Abertay’s purpose.  I was the first to go to University in my family and progressed through the AHEAD programme in order to gain a place on my degree course.  I was given a platform, a transformational opportunity.  I will be forever grateful for this opportunity and joined the court to ensure that our progressive University continues to change lives like it did mine for local people and beyond.
