It’s Day 5 of voting & my wedding anniversary. @uniofstandrews.bsky.social was so special to us both & it was important to marry in Sallies Chapel. Rob would have been my most vocal supporter in the #chancellorianelection. So please do #VoteLadyW if you haven’t already. #alex4chancellor

I enjoy chairing conferences & panel sessions around the world. None gives me more pleasure than hosting brave #Ukrainians 🇺🇦 at @WMSymposia - learning about their work at #Chornobyl and #Zaporizhzhia. @univofstandrews has good conferences too! #VoteLadyW #VoteAlex #alex4chancellor

Day 3 to #voteLadyW in the #Chancellorianelection @uniofstandrews.bsky.social The #chancellor will front our inspiring #MakingWaves campaign: a #DigitalNexus for #computerscience research, #NewCollege as home for IR & business school, + endowing more academic chairs to enhance our global standing

Day 2 of the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #chancellorianelection. A day of @ssafaofficial.bsky.social #fundraising meetings for me (before pancakes). Fundraising needs skill & enduring commitment. It’s where I excel! As #Chancellor, I’d actively support the university development team. #VoteLadyW

Voting starts today for the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #ChancellorianElection. It’s also #Lithuania #IndependenceDay 🇱🇹– with a Lithuanian mum, that’s an auspicious day for me! #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

Happy Birthday to me – 55 today! Huge thanks to my friends who make it a nice day for me. My best present would be to be elected #chancellor of @uniofstandrews.bsky.social when voting opens tomorrow! #foreversaints #alex4chancellor #voteLadyW #voteAlex

Good luck @scottishrugby.bsky.social in the #CalcuttaCup.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #SixNations Let’s hope there’s some real #MurrayfieldMagic. #Alex4chancellor @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

US secretary of state Marco Rubio has skipped a meeting with allies on the war in Ukraine, stoking fears in European capitals that Washington’s interest in involving them in its efforts to end the conflict was waning www.ft.com/content/fdd6...

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

I love #StAndrews the place. Proud to be a member of the town’s St Rule Club. It gives me another link to #KY16, and a connection with a different group of people not just connected to the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #ForeverSaints  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

#Science is one of @uniofstandrews.bsky.social strengths #STEM. We’ve been leaders in the past and are innovators today. We’re doing groundbreaking work in #hydrogen and #batteries, including partnering with #Titanvolt. #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #womeninnuclear #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

really enjoy mentoring bright, young people. Bianca Nobilo was my first mentee & @uniofstandrews.bsky.social graduate/rising baritone Ted Day is my newest. It’s so satisfying to see bright, young people excelling in such competitive environments. #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

There’s another St Salvators which I visit regularly. It’s in #Munich, home of the upcoming @MunSecConf The spire doesn’t dominate the skyline as “our” Sallies does at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social, but it’s still beautiful. #ForeverSaints #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

Sunday at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social = #chapel & #pierwalk. I thrive on routine! If I’m #Chancellor I’ll be there as often as I can. My black postgrad gown isn’t as warm as our famous red gowns. #ForeverSaints #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

Reconnecting with @uniofstandrews.bsky.social contemporaries has been a great part of my campaign #alex4chancellor. Our #alumni are spread worldwide. Last week I met my 1st Arts #history tutorial partner for the 1st time since 1993. He’s now a Professor! #ForeverSaints #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

@uniofstandrews.bsky.social Academic Families are a way of bonding students and connecting generations. Shout out my own “family”, especially my Academic Mum who is THE BEST. #ForeverSaints #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW #wearefamily

4 years in @uniofstandrews.bsky.social University Hall were a privilege. A place to make lifelong friends and a fabulous alumni network. So many memories of formal dinners, friendship and fun. #TeamUniHall #ForeverSaints #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW

Happy birthday to my late husband Rob. He grew up in @uniofstandrews.bsky.social and I know he’d have been my most enthusiastic supporter in my campaign to be #Chancellor. #ForeverSaints #EvertoExcel  #Alex4chancellor #VoteAlex #VoteLadyW #standrews

My @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #hat attracts comment wherever I am. Today - on #nationalhotchocolateday I met parents of a current student who were thrilled to meet an alumna #foreversaints #evertoexcel #votealex #voteLadyW #alex4chancellor

2nd #USA trip of 2026 to meet with friends at @harvard.edu #HBS and innovative #tech firms. Great to catch up with @uniofstandrews.bsky.social #alumni here. 🇺🇸. Bit chilly though! #alex4chancellor #voteAlex #voteLadyW #evertoexcel #foreversaints

We must neverforget the horrors of the #Holocaust. #HolocaustMemorialDay #Shoah. It shaped my own life. Humans are capable of horrific depravity. That hasn’t changed. We are stronger when united against evil.

It’s official! I’m a candidate to be Chancellor of @uniofstandrews.bsky.social Check out @alex4chancellor on Insta, Alex Walmsley (Ashbourne) on Linkedin and FB. I’m St Andrews to my core and would be so proud to represent the world’s best university on the local, national and global stage.
