Dear Staff and Student Colleagues 

I am constantly reminded how, in this ‘place of the stars’, all of us shine with different hues to make the constellation of our Faculty ever brighter. Each accomplishment in the Faculty brings a new radiance as another star is added to illuminate our way forward. Today we celebrate those who submitted themselves to the scrutiny of their peers and have been awarded promotions both academic and scientific and technical areas.

I am proud to announce the names of colleagues who have been promoted through the ad hominem process. Outstanding portfolios of evidence were presented showcasing performance in research, learning and teaching; excellent service in the technical domain which support our academic project; outstanding leadership and management; as well as social responsiveness. 

Please join me in congratulating the following colleagues on this milestone achievement in their careers:
