Welcome
I am pleased to share our strong performance in international rankings with Griffith placing 48th in the Times Higher Education top 150 universities in the world under the age of 50.
Griffith is now in the top 50 of both the Times Higher Education and QS Top 50 Universities under 50 (37th) - one of only two Queensland universities to achieve this distinction.
A recent visit to our Gold Coast campus by the 2018 Commonwealth Games mascot - Borobi the surfing koala - was a reminder that the Games is now less than two years away. As the official university sponsor for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Griffith is perfectly placed to be a major contributor to the biggest sporting event in Australia this decade.
I look forward to seeing you at our next Friends of the Library events, Spoken and written language: the foundation for learning presented by Professor Sheena Reilly and our annual student performance, Masters and Slaves.
