Update from Prof. Deborah West, Vice-President and Executive Dean
I hope you had a restful and relaxing Easter Break. Our graduation ceremony on 16 April celebrated 481 students. The College Leadership Team is finalising the Strategic Plan, with a draft coming in May. I recently visited key industry stakeholders in rural and remote regions. Reconciliation Week at the end of May, themed 'Bridging Now to Next,' encourages reflection and forward-thinking.
