At University level, Professor Kennedy serves as the Senior Senate Assessor for Student Conduct, is one of the elected Senate Assessors on the University Court, and sits on the Education Policy & Strategy Committee, Finance Committee, Estates Committee and the Glasgow University Sports Association (GUSA) Committee.
An active member of the British Pharmacological Society, he serves on their Finance Committee and their Awards Panel. In January 2023 he became Honorary Treasurer of the BPS.
