July 28, 2004

Ingrid Moses.jpgAt its meeting of 26 July 2004, the Council of the University of New England approved an extension to the term of office of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ingrid Moses, until 31 July 2006.
Professor Ingrid Moses began as Vice-Chancellor in July 1997 and under her leadership the reputation and financial position of the University has significantly improved. The Chancellor, Mr John Cassidy, requested that the Vice-Chancellor seek an extension to her term in order to facilitate the University’s ability to meet with National Governance Protocols recently imposed on higher education providers by the Federal Government.

Mr Cassidy stated that Professor Ingrid Moses is highly regarded within the region, the nation and internationally, as an active advocate for the provision of accessible, high quality tertiary education. He mentioned that just a few of Professor Moses' initiatives include the Country Scholarships for undergraduate students at UNE, the development of Graduate Attributes, the WorkReady and Leadership programs for students, and support for strategic initiatives within the University in both teaching and research through her Strategic Development Fund.
The University is well placed to meet the challenges of, and opportunities available in, the higher education sector.
