Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Director, I would like to congratulate our PhD and MPhil Graduates.  This week’s graduation ceremony marked the end of an important stage in their career, and the beginning of a new phase in their lives (i.e. Paid employment!).  We wish them every success for the future.  Thanks to Joe Hope and Lan Fu for congratulating the students at the morning tea on Wednesday, and to Karen Nulty for organizing this great local event.

Congratulations are also extended to this year’s recipients of the Vidya and Chennupati Jagadish Endowment Awards, who are featured in this week’s feature photograph.

Tim will be back next week.

Have a great weekend.
Rob Elliman

Nearly Is Not Enough!
by Meesha Rosa

After nearly 20 years of trying to increase the representation of women and minorities on boards, they remain largely untapped, underutilized, and almost invisible in corporate boardrooms.
