Director's Message

This Friday is CaRST Officer Emma Aucote’s last day in the Graduate Centre. For the past year Emma has done an amazing job supporting the program and our HDRs and has had a huge impact on the success of CaRST. Not to mention that she is an absolute joy to work with! I’d like to thank Emma for her invaluable service and wish her all the best in her new endeavours.

Going forward you might be hearing from our colleague in the Graduate Centre, Iris Liu, who will be taking over some tasks to assist CaRST so that we can continue to deliver high quality services for our HDRs.

Best,

Dr Monica Kerr
Director, CaRST
