A message from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Students, Learning and Teaching) Professor Anne Cummins.
Dear colleagues,
This is my last staff bulletin message at ACU. As I prepare to leave on Friday I have reflected on the years from 2008 until 2018.
My overriding sense is of gratitude for the rich experiences I have shared with you at ACU. Some of the highlights have been:
These were great events but there have been sad times too. The deaths of colleagues and students. Campus Ministry has supported us and helped us celebrate these moments too. Our chapels have become sacred places and hold these memories with us.
There have been everyday moments, building new programs and services, new properties, new systems. Change plans, budget cuts, new costs, new opportunities. Life keeps moving in higher education. Through the ups and downs there have been some consistencies, things which I suspect are in the ACU DNA and
have roots in the predecessor colleges:
I don’t see ACU through rose-coloured glasses. Sometimes it disappoints me, but then I see a random act of kindness or a student thriving and I know that despite the rough patches and our human frailties, we do a great job at being a community for others.
As I leave for another adventure in life I will be very proud to have worked with you and will know that ACU will continue to invest in a more just Australia and a renewed Catholic Church.
Blessings and best wishes to each of you.
Anne
