A valuable and continuing connection
The new College will become a highly valuable resource in supporting Emeriti Professors in transition into retirement. It will enable you to maintain a valuable connection with the University and to one another. We hope to provide opportunities to socially connect and to continue to promote lifelong learning amongst the College. Recognising that many of our Emeriti continue to engage with students and research, an early goal of the College is to provide a framework to assist in the continuation of research, teaching, and mentoring.
Check back regularly for updates, events and new opportunities to connect.
We welcomed 7 new Emeriti Professors in 2022. Pictured above is Emeriti Professors Colin MacLeod, Frank Van Kann, Sirimon Treepongkaruna, and Donna Cross OAM.
Absent: Emeriti Professors Nigel Laing AO, Paul Abbot AO and David Badcock.
