Peter Fraser, director of the CSU Office of Government and Community Relations, announced the appointment of Associate Professor Chika Anyanwu as the new head of campus late last week.
Professor Anyanwu is currently the Head of the CSU School of Communication and Creative Industries. He will step down from this role in April, and will then hold the appointment of head of campus concurrently with his substantive position as Associate Professor of media in the school.
“I congratulate Professor Anyanwu on his appointment and look forward to working with him in this role,” Mr Fraser said. “His considerable experience, particularly in the fields of media and mass communication, and his networking skills, will benefit the university in extending and developing connections with the Bathurst community.”
Professor Anyanwu said it was a privilege to be appointed to the role of head of campus.
“As a university with the goal to build regional capacity, I want to promote the values embedded in the principle of ‘Yindyamarra Winhanganha’; that is, ‘the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in’,” he said.
“This is the philosophy at the heart of university’s approach to education, and I will work in this role to build our local economies through knowledge creation and the development of creative and intellectual capital ‘for the public good’.”
Mr Fraser also acknowledged and thanked former head of campus in Bathurst, Professor Jo-Anne Reid, for her leadership and work in progressing the university’s engagement and community relations program in 2015.
