Across seven campuses, it remains committed to its founding mission to expand the life-changing opportunities afforded by higher education to everyone and especially people from equity backgrounds.

With a passion for innovation, differentiation and excellence the Dean will engage academic colleagues, business partners and students in realising those opportunities.
