These will ensure that Professor Moses, who will retire from UNE in early January and then take up the position of Chancellor of the University of Canberra, will continue to contribute to developments in higher education at the highest level.

Earlier this year Professor Moses (pictured here) was invited to join an International Advisory Network at the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education in the UK. The Foundation, launched last year, aims to ensure that the leadership, governance and management of higher education institutions in the UK are regarded as world-class, and that the practice of excellence in leadership is recognised and held in high esteem by the education sector.

“I have been invited to contribute to the Foundation’s ‘Leadership Summit 2006’ in London,” Professor Moses said. “The summit theme is ‘The Leadership and Development Challenges of Globalisation and Internationalisation’.”

In July, the Australian Council for Educational Leaders (ACEL) awarded Professor Moses an Honorary Fellowship, citing her “significant contribution to educational leadership” throughout her career. ACEL is the major professional association for educational leaders, drawing its members from all sectors of education in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and the rest of the world.

More recently the Rector of the United Nations University (UNU) has invited Professor Moses to serve as a member of the Advisory Committee of UNU’s International Leadership Institute (a research and training program established in 1994). The International Leadership Institute is located in Amman, Jordan, and its Advisory Committee members are selected on a broad geographical basis with regard to major academic, scientific, economic, social and cultural trends in the world.

Finally, Professor Moses has been invited to be Section Editor for Tertiary Education for the International Encyclopaedia for Education (3rd edition) to be published by Elsevier in 2008. “It will be published in 12 to 14 volumes, with a total length of about 8,400 pages,” Professor Moses said. “I will be responsible for structuring the Tertiary Education section, finding international authors, and commenting on and editing 60-70 contributions.”

“I am delighted that I will be able to continue, in retirement from full-time employment, my interests in higher education policy, leadership and governance at both national and international level,” Professor Moses said.
