Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you enjoyed a very pleasant long weekend. This week my congratulations go to Professor Susan Scott (CGA) on her election into the American Physical Society, Mr Tim Gray (NP) on publishing significant fundamental research and Ms Dige Wang (LPC) who has been elected the HDR Officer for PARSA. Please see their articles below which detail their achievements and contributions.
My thanks to Craig MacLeod (LPC) for offering this week’s pic, showing a group having a guided tour of the new building by Brett Price (Hindmarsh). The group is standing in the entrance foyer looking out through the tea room window over the lake. I am trying to take groups of 10 through the site every week. If you are keen to see how this wonderful building is progressing please contact Sue Wigley to put you name on the list. All are welcome. I have included a special report by Hassell Studios, Engagement or Extinction (right), our building architect who highlight how the global university sector is rising to engage better with students, industry and government. Needless to say, our building is part of this international case study.
Have a good short week,
Tim |
