  • Leadership founded in academic collegiality that promotes a culture of resilience, courage, innovation, and excellence in the school and university.
  • Research (including research leadership), with a particular emphasis on discovering innovative, real-world solutions of significance and benefit to society.
  • Teaching (including online teaching and work-integrated learning) that generates sustained excellence in the student experience and meets the needs and expectations of our students and their communities.
  • Engagement with external stakeholders that advances teaching and research success through industry and community partnerships.
  • Innovation in identifying problems and designing solutions that help achieve the goals of the school and university.
