15.01.2022 Kindness is not a word usually associated with leadership. Nor is empathy nor compassion. But for Professor Patricia ‘Trish’ Davidson, they are qualities that are at the heart of who she is and how she sees her new role as UOW’s fifth Vice-Chancellor. A few weeks into the position, Professor Davidson has immersed herself in the world of UOW and is relishing every moment. Much of her calendar has revealed the priorities she has brought to the job, and hopes to enact in the mon...ths and years to come. Kindness is hugely underrated, Professor Davidson says, during a rare quiet moment in her office. Approachability and accessibility, too. I believe that if you have the discretion to help someone else, you should always use it. Find out more about our new Vice-Chancellor, what drives her, and her ambitions for UOW.

The team from UOW's Batemans Bay campus are creating a Wattle Walk to recognise the immense and ongoing impact that the Black Summer bushfires had on the coastal community of Batemans Bay and its surroundings. ...
