My name is Tyrone Carlin and it's my enormous privilege to be the Vice-Chancellor of Southern Cross University.
This is an extraordinary university.
It's an extraordinary university because of the spirit of community that exists throughout both within the university and in the regions that we serve.
It's an extraordinary community because of its orientation towards quality and innovation the energy and the personal touch that we bring to our relationships with each other and to looking after our students.
The university does remarkable work in education and research and as I look around our campuses the energy and the passion that I see continually inspires me and it fills me with enormous confidence for our future.
And I hope you share that confidence too.
As I undertake my work as Vice-Chancellor I'm really looking forward to working with you and our communities and building a great future together.
Southern Cross University is deeply connected with the regions we call home.
Our purpose centres on the life-changing impact we can have through our teaching and research, empowering and galvanising our leadership team to act boldly, with thoughtfulness and compassion.
