I am proud to lead the university into its second century and to build a lasting legacy in keeping with its unique origins – a university that was a living memorial created to change the world for the better. I enjoy working with the university community and our external partners to bring about transformative change which is lasting and inclusive. I love the fact that we can change lives – as mine was – through the power of education.
