Student Safety and Wellbeing Plan update
|
Dear students,
In March this year, ANU released its Student Safety and Wellbeing Plan, designed to help keep our students and community safe on our campuses. Part of our plan is ensuring the University remains transparent and our community is regularly informed and involved in the University’s progress.
Today Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student and University Experience), Professor Ian Anderson, has provided an update on our progress to date. |

ANU75 photo competition winners revealed
|
The ANU75 photo competition invited students to document their perspective of life at ANU during our 75th anniversary year.
This week we are featuring the work of Tami Park, runner-up in the Portrait category.
Tami, an international student, said that when things get tough and she misses home, she often heads to Commonwealth Park to watch wild rabbits run "freely and carelessly on the greens".
"I believe furry friends have the mysterious power to give emotional support to humans and I am glad such cute little friends are always there whenever I need them.”
Congratulations again, Tami! |

A window to our past
|
Brigid Ballard and John Clanchy (pictured with a graduating student) were pioneering figures in establishing academic support services at ANU who took an anthropological approach to their work.
In the 1970s, they championed the Study Skills Centre in response to rising numbers of international students. The Centre offered far more than a remedial service and helped raise education and teaching standards across the University.
Brigid worked at the Centre from 1977 to 1997 as Senior Academic Advisor before becoming Head in 1995. Brigid replaced John as Head when he had left to become the founding director of the Graduate Teaching Program at the ANU Graduate School.
