What was your path, progressing to the position of Vice-Chancellor and President of The University of Queensland?

What are some of the challenges you faced during your career?

What do you enjoy most about this wonderfully huge, never dull and all-consuming position?

Do you think that educational institutions are some of the best-placed organisations to help address, and solve, the issues that concern younger Australians the most?

When so much in our society seems fractured and polarised, what role do you think education has to play in uniting our communities?

Do you have any thoughts to share with them, many of whom may enter the doors of your university in 12 months’ time?
