Message from the Vice Chancellor

As my first calendar year as Vice Chancellor of this wonderful university draws to a close, I want to express my appreciation for the warm reception from our alumni community, commencing with the Canberra reception in February and continuing throughout the year. Alumni played an essential role in informing the development of our Creating a Future for All: Strategic Plan 2020-2025 and I offer my sincere thanks to all who contributed. We finished the year on a high with inspirational stories of graduates shared at our 13 ceremonies last week as well as various other alumni achievements.
