From the PVC

As we are now halfway through the year I wanted to reflect on what we have achieved so far. 2013 has been a year of change with the implementation of NeW Directions and our Faculty Corporate Plan. We have risen to the challenge and I thank you for your participation and enthusiasm in all the work we have accomplished to date.

I trust you have felt engaged throughout the process and that the communication activities we've introduced (staff briefings, our FEDUA Flyer newsletter, the video-blog) have kept you updated.

I want to encourage you to continue to share your stories within the Faculty and beyond. Many of you have already sent in your good news stories to share in our newsletter and we have been distributing these stories through University social media platforms with much success.

The ability to reach our audiences (current and future students, alumni, community and business partners, and the research community) through social media cannot be underestimated. So please, if you have a story to share send it through to Michael Robertson.
