In this episode of HEDx Brigid Heywood outlines her journey into the role of VC and CEO at Australia’s oldest regional university in New England plucked from a planned retirement in Easter Island. She outlines a new strategy for UNE built on a long tradition of distance education and on recent advances and radical ambitions for personalised learning journeys at the heart of differentiated student experiences. And she outlines how her unique approach to leadership, and the shaping she seeks to bring to the culture of teams within her university, in combination with external partners in diverse regional precincts, is at the heart of her vision for a world-class, future fit university.
