Good morning. As you are aware, we are entering an important phase of the Renewal Project as we prepare to transition to a new academic structure on 1 January 2017. Over the past few weeks we have been undertaking the selection process for the four new Pro Vice-Chancellor & Executive Dean positions to lead the four faculties.

Following endorsement at Monday's Senate meeting I am pleased to announce the following appointments.

• Faculty of Arts, Business & Law - Professor Matthew Tonts
• Faculty of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences - Professor John Dell
• Faculty of Science - Professor Tony O'Donnell
• Faculty of Health & Medical Science - Professor Wendy Erber

I am also pleased to announce that Professor Jill Milroy has been appointed to the role of Pro Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Education and Head of the School of Indigenous Studies.

I congratulate the successful candidates and look forward to working with them to establish our new faculties and supporting structures.

Sincerely,
Professor Paul Johnson
Vice-Chancellor
