Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you so much for pitching in with the decant over the past few weeks. We’re in the final stages this week and I would like to thank the administrators and Heads for their coordination and good spirits. It’s a tough process, and I believe you will start to see the fruits of your labour shortly. Our IT guys have installed a camera on top on the HIAF tower so you can see the building progress (or check the weather).
Congratulations to Professor Jagadish on being inducted as Foreign Fellow into the Indian National Academy of Engineering. This is another significant accolade and I’m very pleased to report that it’s his 8th Academy membership! As I know he would say, this is also a great credit to his group and collaborators over the years.
A Town Hall meeting is being planned by F&S and Hindmarsh to communicate the building program and its impact on the precinct. Our neighbouring Schools will be invited to attend to cover topics such as noise, traffic impacts and, of course, parking. The details will be forwarded via School-wide email once they are finalised this week.
There are several great images from the past week. Above, our very own Gandalf (aka Em Prof Rod Boswell) joins in for Open Day fun. Below, Dr Mohsen Rahmani (NLPC) beams after his Eureka moment. And, (right) last but not least a ‘thank you, but not a farewell’ to Gail Bissell who has been standing in for Joe Ivanic for the past few months. Don’t worry, we’ll have the pleasure of Gail's company at Founder’s Day. Speaking of which, if you have a burning desire to represent your Department in a short, public-spirited talk for Founder’s Day, please speak to your Head asap. All staff and students are welcome to present.
Have a great week,
Tim |
