Academic Philosophy:
Acting-Archchancellor Shivers studied at reading Discworld novels at Bachelor’s level from 1999 to 2006. From 2006 she graduated as a First Class Looney after matriculating at the International Discworld Convention 2006. When the fledgling Irish branch of Unseen University opened its doors in Roundworld in 2009, Shivers was one of the first students through the doors. Studying under the tutelage of Professors Mad Irish Girls 1, 2 and 3, she was promoted to Faculty in 2015. As Acting Archchancellor, her main criticisms have been leaving all the work to the Acting Librarian whenever she’s on campus.
