Dear Colleagues,

It was great to hear our VC up close yesterday.  Many thanks to those who asked questions and it’s clear that many answers will come from within our School.  Speaking as ‘one of us’ is part of Brian’s great strength as VC.  He represents a far broader community now, yet we heard that his heritage in the physical sciences is still a guiding framework for excellence. Our visible support will help him steer the ANU, and I can see we’re on the cusp of exciting times. He clearly has a very high regard for our teaching program, not only something to be proud of, but also a flagship for the Physics Strategic Plan. He is right - every great research university has teaching at its foundation.  Have a great weekend. 

Tim
