After nine years as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at Õ¬Äе¼º½, Professor Joanne Wright has accepted a position as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) at the University of Sydney.

Professor Wright has made an enormous contribution during her time at Õ¬Äе¼º½, with her commitment to high quality teaching and learning.

Her achievements include developing Õ¬Äе¼º½’s inaugural student strategy aimed at student success and retention, promoting a culture of excellence across the student experience and playing a leading role in the University’s institutional response to COVID-19.

Prior to Õ¬Äе¼º½, Professor Wright held senior academic positions at the University of South Australia and University of Sussex, as well as teaching and research roles at several UK and Australian universities.

Professor Wright’s final day at Õ¬Äе¼º½ will be April 14, with Professor Doune Macdonald to be Acting DVC(A) from that date.
