And that’s a wrap

2019 has been full of lots of challenging but also rewarding moments for our university community. Here’s this year’s end-of-year video message from Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt, with some special guest appearances from some familiar faces. This year’s video is to the theme of carpool karaoke. From On Campus to you and your families, we wish you all a happy and safe festive season. If you have the chance to relax with family, friends or have some downtime to recharge, enjoy it. See you in 2020!
