Solent University are delighted to announce Mark Evans, Chief Strategy & Development Officer at Telefonica SA, will provide the first in the 2022/23 series of Honorary Doctorate in conversations. As well as an Honorary Doctorate, Mark is an alumnus of Solent and it is fantastic to welcome him back on to campus where his knowledge and career journey will inspire many of our current students.

Mark will look to share his wealth of expertise and knowledge from his time in the industry and discuss the evolution of telecommunications focussing on the future of 5G and 6G technology.
