Brandon's connection with the University of Suffolk started in 2015 when he began his BA (Hons) Early Childhood course. In 2018, he became one of the first cohorts to graduate at the new picturesque waterfront graduation venue. During his student years, Brandon actively engaged in various aspects of university life, embracing opportunities to contribute to the student community and support fellow peers.
After spending five years in engagement work for services such as the NHS and council-funded health promotion initiatives, Brandon returned to the University in a professional capacity to lead the Retention Project, continuing his engagement efforts. This initiative focuses on supporting Level 4 students, aiming to identify those at risk of withdrawal early on and provide targeted interventions. The project has already seen a positive decrease in student withdrawals, marking a meaningful impact on student continuation and experience.
Since April 2025, Brandon has joined the CELT Research Team. His work in this role includes ongoing support for retention efforts while also contributing to the development and delivery of wider student success interventions. This is supporting the implementation and evaluation of the University of Suffolk Access and Participation Plan (APP), working with colleagues across the institution to reduce gaps in inequalities related to access, continuation, success, and progression of students.
