Mireille Digard

Mireille joined Dudley College in 2024 as Sustainability Manager after leaving Yorkshire, which she had made her home, to take up a role that aligned perfectly with her values and the college’s strategic vision—despite never having set foot in Dudley before. She began her career in education and taught for 23 years, holding a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages, before gradually moving into sustainability. A firm believer in lifelong learning, Mireille has continued to develop her expertise through sustainability-focused study and professional development. Her passion for fairness, justice, and balance drives her approach to environmental responsibility and governance. In her current role, she works across curriculum, estates, and external partnerships, giving her a broad understanding of how decisions affect staff and students. Mireille serves on the Finance and Estates Committee.
