4. Business arising

Agenda papersThe Warden reported that, in keeping with previous feedback suggesting members value the opportunity to view the agenda papers prior to the meeting, the Council had continued this process and the agenda papers had been available online through a link that was provided in the email reminder sent out the previous week.

Q&AFollowing the last Ordinary Meeting, the Convocation Council also received many positive comments regarding the Q&A session at the end of the meeting. Consequently, another Q&A session was included in the agenda of the meeting.

Statute amendmentsAt the last Ordinary Meeting, Warden Warren Kerr confirmed that the Act had passed, with the immediate implications to Convocation now known in terms of representation on the UWA Senate. However, many of the items that govern Convocation’s operations are found in the statutes. Warden Dr Doug McGhie confirmed that the Convocation Council had been invited by the University to consider and contribute to amendments of interest to Convocation. This is expected to progress over the coming year and is of great interest to the Council’s Governance Committee, chaired by Dr Susan King.

5. Correspondence

The Warden reported that Convocation receives regular correspondence, and the emails and letters received since the last Ordinary Meeting covered a very broad field. The Warden had responded to these emails and letters individually, and would also provide an overview of the important topics in his report for this meeting.

6. Vice-Chancellor’s Report

The Warden next invited the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dawn Freshwater, to present her report. A copy of the text of the Vice-Chancellor’s report appeared at Attachment B of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017 booklet.

The Vice-Chancellor took her report as read and began with some updated information since her written report.

Professor Freshwater reported that 2017 had been a year in which the University focused on three key objectives: education, culture and reputation. In her report, she focused on the education strategy and four key projects that address a whole range of initiatives within those three key priorities but education in particular.

(L-R) Larissa Tilbury, Daniella Zagami and Convocation Officer Juanita Perez.

440 people, despite not having advertised a single role in the campaign. The Vice-Chancellor noted that those expressions of interest came from 46 different countries around globe and across a wide selection of faculties, disciplines and fields of expertise. With some of the changes that are taking place in higher education, the University is also keen to implement joint appointments working with industry and bringing in people with different expertise to support the future education of our students.

Professor Freshwater made a commitment to start 2018 in the earnest revision and development of the new strategic plan, culminating in a 2030 vision. The work would begin with roundtables with visiting Vice-Chancellors from the world’s top 50 universities, two of whom were from the top 10 universities. They would be visiting the campus to support UWA in its endeavours to achieve its ambitions, with the roundtables taking place at the end of 2017 and into early 2018. The Vice-Chancellor was pleased to note that the growing relationship with Convocation through Convocation Council meant that University Executives would be engaging with Convocation in building strategy for the future.

Much of the work around that strategy for the future would also focus on the campus and the new campus master plan. The Vice-Chancellor said that there had been interesting developments and mentioned the work taking place at in Forrest Hall, saying it would be a wonderful place for our scholars to be housed. She also said that she has approved the development of the new School of Indigenous Studies, which would be an outstanding building featuring the Noongar palette of colours. It would house art and a small coffee shop but more importantly it would be a place to celebrate our traditions and cultures.

Meanwhile, the Engineering Zone (E-Zone) was progressing. Work was already in phase one, and moving into phase two, and it was exciting to see the development taking place on the campus.

The Vice-Chancellor advised that, regarding development of Underwood Avenue, the University’s current understanding was that a response to the extension of the timeframe of the state environmental approval was with the Environmental Protection Authority. The University had been advised that a decision was due in coming months, and it would carefully assess its response from the EPA - to the EPA before making any decisions on the future of that project. As always, the University remained committed to close and constructive community engagement and consultation.

Professor Freshwater felt it important to note that the work the University is currently engaged in is building a stronger relationship with Convocation through Convocation

The University had recently undertaken a staff survey, and University executives were now beginning to understand the implications of the results on the development of work they would be doing with staff over the next year or two. This work will allow the University to continue to build on existing strengths and the strengths required in future for the University’s 2030 vision.

The Vice-Chancellor reported that the University had moved up 14 places in the Times Higher Education world rankings, from 125 to 111, and also done very well in the 2017 Australian Awards for University Teaching. The University had also received citations for outstanding contributions to student learning, with the awards to be presented to the recipients in Perth.

The University had recently celebrated the election of four Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia; these came from the Faculty of Law, the School of Social Sciences, the Business School and the School of Education. The Vice-Chancellor gave thanks to all those people involved working towards these successes behind the scenes.

There had been a lot of activity focusing on higher education reforms and in particular the legislations debated in Federal Parliament around the time of the report. As part of the GO8, UWA was actively lobbying against the legislative changes on the basis that they will create further financial constraints for universities, further burdens for students and policy uncertainty for the sector. The Vice-Chancellor was pleased to say that she believed the efforts were having an impact and starting to give us some success. She reported that the bill was currently in the Senate and that she would be watching its progress with interest, although it was not due to be back on the table until the middle of October.

The State government budget had also been handed down recently, and the Vice-Chancellor had attended the budget briefing and hosted a table there. The presentation from the Premier and Treasurer was pertinent to the University because, while the budget included a range of measures of interest to other sectors, it was particularly important to recognise that the Premier was bringing international education to the fore, along with the work taking place in the schools and the regional strategy. As a result, the Vice-Chancellor would be watching closely the commitment to international education noted during the state government’s campaign as a strong area for growth, and focusing on the school engagement strategy.

The Vice-Chancellor reported that she was overwhelmed by the response and the level of interest in the Be Inspired campaign. In its search for 50 new academics, the University had received expressions of interest in working at UWA from

situation and help the international students to thrive after their university life?

Mr Mark Zhang posing a question to the Vice-Chancellor.

Response from Vice-ChancellorThank you, and that’s a really multifaceted question. So let me just start by commenting on the drive to recruit more international students, and I’d like to broaden that out and talk about the range of international students that we’re looking to recruit to the University. Yes, of course, we have very good relationships with China and we have strong research partnerships with China but it is much broader than seeking to recruit additional Chinese students, so I just wanted to make that comment. And that’s particularly around our internationalisation strategy because, as you saw from the report around the Be Inspired, we’re also looking to recruit international academics, so this is about creating a truly international experience for all students on our campus to benefit from.

Your particular question around work – and this isn’t just about making sure that we provide opportunities for work-integrated learning through the program, which is key to the success for you in terms of your career and your future in your employment opportunities, so that’s one of the things we’re doing, and providing internships, it’s also about our relationships with industry and our relationships with key stakeholders. And I had a meeting earlier this week, actually, with two of our captains of industry, talking exactly about this particular issue, and have the ear of the Premier and the Minister for Education in this regard because it’s in the best interests of the state and us all to really make this work.

Of course for individual students, you’re one of them, and for the University, but the University’s situated in the state and in the nation and this has to be really addressed as a national issue, which is why I have made numerous delegations to our State government and to the federal government around visa-related matters so that’s part of it, but making sure that we have appropriate pathways through internships, through work-integrated learning and then opportunities for you to be

Council. She reported that she, the Chancellor and the Chief Advancement Officer of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations had been able to go to Convocation Council’s recent meeting and that she and the University are committed to developing that existing relationship and advancing the way in which we might all work together to create a sustainable future for this wonderful university.

As the Vice-Chancellor was unable to stay for the Q&A session, she was happy to take a few questions at the end of her speech.

The questions and answers are recorded verbatim.

Question 1: Murray Rosenberg Can you please explain the factors which led to the successful completion of the EB negotiations at UWA?

Response from Vice-ChancellorThank you, I really appreciate that comment and question. We started the process of enterprise bargaining about nine months ago, and it is a testament to the hard work of bringing to the table on a regular basis some of the difficult challenges that we face in the sector on both sides from both the union and management, and really being committed to working those through in the best interests not only of the staff but for the students in the future. And what’s happened, of course, through that process is we’ve had to reach compromise and it’s been that willingness to compromise, notwithstanding of course both sides have a line in the sand around which they’re willing to comprise. It’s that willingness to compromise that brought our enterprise bargaining to a conclusion at a… in a reasonable timeframe.

So I’m very happy that we’ve got to where we’ve got to. We had a very good turnout in terms of the voting, I have to say that this has been really collegiate working on behalf of the union and on behalf of management and staff. And I think one of the other contributing factors is that we’ve attempted to communicate with staff both in terms of what we’ve been doing internally through the management and where… the direction that we’re heading in and having the support of the unions to do that, I think, has meant that the staff have been brought along with those discussions and negotiations.

Question 2: Mark Zhang I’m paying $35,000 per year to this university and as an international student, but people who are like me doing mechanical engineering often have to leave Australia because you couldn’t find work because employers don’t often want to hire international students. So I understand that the University has an incentive to attract more international students from China because this is an important source of income for the University, so does the University have a plan to improve this

7. Guild President’s report

The Warden invited the Guild President, Mr Nevin Jayawardena, to present his report to Convocation. Mr Jayawardena spoke to his report, a copy of which was provided at Attachment C of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017 agenda booklet. The same report was also illustrated through PowerPoint presentation slides at the meeting.

Mr Jayawardena commenced by saying that the Student Guild had done a lot in 2017 and also that it had been a very busy year for himself and a very rewarding experience for him as Guild President. At the time of speaking, Guild elections were in progress.

There are five core functions of the Guild:• Student representation • Opportunities to get involved• Food and drink on campus• Support services • Information and advice

All of this is funded by 50 per cent through SAF (and the remainder through the Guild’s commercial operations).

The Guild President had three areas of focus in 2017:

Building relationships The Guild President had been working to create a better culture between University Executive administration and students. Students are not just consumers of education but are also partners in developing and delivering education and the broader student experience.

The Guild had also been networking with the State government to ensure there are supports for the student experience and to ensure that any decisions made within that particular body positively affect students at UWA.

The Guild Alumni Network was established to connect all previous people involved in the Guild. The aim is to get them

in practice early before you graduate. So we can do what we’re doing to support you and I think it’s important and incumbent on us to also do what we can to make sure that that message is clearly understood at the State and the federal levels.

Question 3: Mark Anastasis Hi, my name’s Mark Anastasis. I just... wondering what the University’s policy is on commercialising its research and what has been the success of its commercialisation in the past 10 years, and income derived from that to build a more sustainable University setting where it has income from other sources?

Response from Vice-ChancellorGreat question, thank you. So you’re probably aware, of course, that this question is in the context of what’s coming out of the federal government in terms of the impact and translation agenda; in other words ensuring that funding that goes into research and development translates and goes through the cycle in terms of end-user outcome and impacting society, improving lives, impacting and helping industries to solve real-world problems. And so this is in that context, we are encouraged more to think about commercialisation and innovation. This University does have a history of some commercialisation of its research; it doesn’t have large numbers of spinout companies but it’s one of the things that we’re currently looking at and, in fact, talking at the moment around providing opportunities for our staff and students to have spin-in opportunities in order to really then look at the best opportunities for spinning out in the University and with industry.

We are doing a fair bit in the medical space, so some in the biomed tech. That could be developed further and that’s likely to happen through our statewide collaboration through the WA Health Translation Network. That’s one of the key outcomes that we’re looking for and driving that hub of medical research through that joint network.

We’re also working at the moment in the State on two other areas where I expect there’s going to be further commercialisation opportunities for all the universities, but in particular for us, and that one of them will be in the defence space and the other one will be in big data, the Square Kilometre Array in Radio Astronomy.

The Warden thanked the Vice-Chancellor for her report and noted that the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Community and Engagement) Professor Kent Anderson would respond to any other questions during the Q & A session on her behalf."

Guild would be encouraging more students to get involved so that they are more employable once they get into their final year and start to find core jobs.

This was reflected in the significant increase in volunteering engagements through the Guild. Each month the level of engagement with students seeking volunteering opportunities had been increasing dramatically.

The Guild President then reported on some challenges.

Student wellbeingThe issues surrounding student wellbeing are increasing. A recent survey conducted by the National Union of Students reported that 67 per cent of respondents rated their mental health as fair or poor, and that 65 per cent reported high or very high psychological distress.

The Guild, in partnership with the University, was working hard to ensure that there are reactive measures to support students who are going through difficult times. The Guild was also being proactive in making it easier to study at University and become engaged in extracurricular activities, and that students have necessary and adequate support networks around them. The Guild has 2,000 student leaders who are helping to achieve positive outcomes for students with wellbeing issues.

Cuts to higher educationWith the federal cuts to higher education, there is a general feeling that students nowadays are required to pay more and to pay back sooner, while getting less for their degree. There are barriers and challenges in that space, and the Guild would again be working with the University towards lobbying the federal government to ensure UWA’s unique degree structure is protected and that the University continues to have a degree structure that places UWA graduates on top of others.

This was to be Mr Jayawardena’s last report as Guild President, and he gave thanks to the Warden, Dr Doug McGhie, and the Convocation Council for their support of everything that the Guild had done over the past year. He then said that he cares a lot about this University, and that his involvement in the different clubs and societies and in the Guild has definitely helped him to understand how important universities are for a student.

He said that UWA has been a life-defining experience for him and that it was important that the Guild, Convocation, and the University all work together to ensure that students have the best possible experience over their time at UWA. Then, when they graduate, they will look upon this experience fondly and maybe get involved in Convocation, whether it be in the Council or by coming back to these meetings to ensure that they are doing for UWA students what was once done for them.

to come back to learn about what the Student Guild is doing, and, in the future, to help ensure the Guild is introducing new initiatives and projects, and not repeating past mistakes.

Operational excellence The Guild has introduced a strategic plan that will ensure consistency and continuity of initiatives between the councils, to show stakeholders and the Guild Council where they want to be in three years.

Student representation Ensuring that student representatives understand their role on University committees. The Guild has structures and mechanisms in place to ensure student representatives are as effective as possible and that they are able to assist the University in improving the student experience.

The Guild President then reported on a number of key achievements:• In 2017 to date, 778 events had been held (in 2016, the

number was 813), and the Guild was on track to hold about 1,200 events over the year. In an international survey, the UWA Student Guild had been recognised as the top institution in Australia for social activities.

• In 2017 to date, there had been 1,200 cases for Student Assist, a service that delivers academic welfare and financial support for students. This indicated that more students were now aware of the service and seeking formal help from it.

• The Guild raised $55,000 for Prosh in 2017.• There were now 172 affiliated clubs and societies,

compared to 142 in 2016.• Engagement with the students had increased to 15,000

openings of their newsletters each week. • The Guild had recorded 19,000 volunteering hours and

2,000 student leaders.

The Guild President expressed a belief that Guild clubs and societies provide students with an opportunity to engage with other students, to build important support networks and to just network in general, and enhance personal development and skill development.

He added that for quite some time a lot of these skills were not formally recognised on student academic transcripts. The Guild was looking to have skills gained through involvement in a club and society through the Guild formally recognised in this way, ensuring that UWA graduates are placed on a higher level in comparison to other graduates.

Mr Jayawardena reflected that a lot of the opportunities from being involved in clubs and societies have made him more ready to enter the workforce. This is something that is unique to UWA, and something students should capitalise on. The

The Council promoted that Convocation must be viewed as far more than the occasional meeting of about 300 mainly more senior and experienced members. There is a role for Convocation with the newest graduates as there is for those who graduated many years ago.

To this end the Council reinvigorated its recently inactive LinkedIn site to create an important vehicle for communicating with and celebrating the achievements of Convocation members.

UWA Convocation’s LinkedIn presence will build on the powerful network of colleagues and friends to demonstrate the global contribution of the University’s graduates, and the Convocation of UWA Graduates group can be joined at www.linkedin.com/groups/78667.

The Council also reinvigorated the discussions and partnership with the operational sides of the University and Guild who are critical to support our function and operation, as they work with and support the University.

A further expression of that was the invitation to Mr Tom Murrell, UWA graduate, member of Convocation and past President of the UWA Graduate Management Association, to act as guest speaker at the meeting, examining Convocation’s Challenge – Communicating and Connecting. It was hoped that Celebrating will be added later, as befits the success and achievements of UWA graduates, the members of Convocation.

8. Warden’s report

The Warden, Dr Doug McGhie, spoke to his report. A copy of the Warden’s Report appeared at Attachment D of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017 agenda booklet.

Rather than go through his report in detail, the Warden briefly highlighted a number of important developments that Convocation Council had addressed since the last Ordinary Meeting.

Chancellor and Vice-ChancellorSince the last Ordinary Meeting, Convocation Council had played an important and high-profile role in the installation of Professor Dawn Freshwater as the new Vice-Chancellor. Professor Freshwater had attended a Convocation Council meeting, while the Council had established regular communication with the Vice-Chancellor, and was finding this extremely positive for Convocation.

The Chancellor, Dr Michael Chaney AO CitWA, had also attended a Council meeting and met with the Warden.

Both of these Council meetings proved to be important in recognising Convocation and its voluntary work with the University, and its relationship with the University is very positive and encouraging.

The Council thanked Dr Chaney for his work with and support of Convocation throughout his term and extended their very best wishes for his future after twelve years as Chancellor. Council had one further opportunity to farewell the Chancellor at a later Senate Dinner.

The new Chancellor would be the Honourable Robert French AC CitWA who offered sage advice to Convocation in his Guest Speaker role at the Autumn Ordinary Meeting, and the Council looked forward to working with him.

Amendments to the UWA ActThe next phase of this legislative reform process would be undertaken over the next year when the statutes affected by the changes to the UWA Act would be reviewed and amended. Convocation Council was invited to contribute and would ensure that the rights and responsibilities of the members of Convocation and its relationship to the University would be maintained and enhanced through this process.

Convocation communicationAll members of Convocation are lifetime members of the University community, and of UWA. Maintaining communication with graduates and the other members of Convocation is viewed as vitally important in keeping everyone informed of the challenges facing the University and the actions being taken to address these challenges.

final decision, Council agreed to contribute $100,000 in the first year of the development, with an allowance to be returned to Convocation to account for the lost return on the investment in 2017. The consideration was detailed and the vote to support was very positive. That the contribution to the new initiative limited Convocation’s future investment income was appreciated. Convocation revisited its capacity to raise funds by various mechanisms and the opportunity was reopened, where it has been constrained in recent years.

Some of Convocation’s contributions to the University, in gifts and building initiatives were featured in the booklet of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017.

The Warden then invited the Chancellor, Dr Michael Chaney, to come to the stage and receive the presentation cheque that marked Convocation’s support for the Masonic Hall Innovation Hub in 2017.

The Chancellor thanked the Warden and the Council of Convocation, saying it was a significant donation by Convocation. The development of the Masonic Hall will beautify the north-west corner of the campus, which has been pretty derelict over the years, and even more so, the innovation hub that is going to be developed there will provide an opportunity for Convocation members, other alumni and students to network and develop ideas. The Chancellor further said that Convocation, in the past, had been involved in providing funds to restore sites like the Irwin Street buildings, and that he saw this as a continuation of that – a valuable and significant contribution by Convocation – before thanking all once again.

Convocation CouncilThe Warden drew the attention of the audience to the section of the meeting booklet that included all the names and faces of the Convocation Councillors, so that they might better know their representative and volunteer Councillors.

9. ConvocationOfficer’sreport

The Convocation Officer’s report appeared as Attachment E of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017 booklet. This report contained a list of graduates whose whereabouts had become unknown since the last Ordinary Meeting. Those attending the meeting were asked to review the list and notify the Convocation Officer, Ms Juanita Perez, if the contacts details of any graduates listed in the report were known to them.

10. Audit report

The independent Audit Report appeared as Attachment F of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017 booklet. The Audit Report had been considered and endorsed by Convocation

The Council included an invitation to a bespoke event for Convocation members called Convocation Conversation – Why Wine? At this event, graduates with high impact on the WA Wine Industry would come together to discuss their progress beyond UWA and into the wine industry. Council thanked the Student Guild for helping to stage this event, an example of celebrating the success and achievements of our graduates who are members of Convocation.

Graduation ceremoniesConvocation plays an important role in the University’s graduation ceremonies and is a part of the review of graduations that appreciates the new degree structure has generated many more ceremonies than in the past. These impose time and other pressures on the many involved. Equally Convocation values the opportunity at the graduation ceremonies to welcome its new members and present a positive and supportive face to the new graduates. Changes and improvements are being examined, and Convocation would be a part of those considerations and would express its views strongly.

Honours for membersConvocation’s Honours Committee plays an important role is assisting and promoting the recognition and celebration of achievement by UWA’s graduates. An impressive list of recipients of Australian Honours was printed in the booklet of the Spring Ordinary Meeting 2017.

Convocation is also prominent in promoting graduates for UWA Honours such as the Convocation Medal, Chancellor’s Medal and Honorary Degrees.

The Warden encouraged Convocation members to put forward anyone who they felt would be a worthy nominee. Nominations could be forwarded to Convocation through the Warden, Warren Kerr as Committee Chair, or Juanita Perez as Convocation Officer.

Volunteering and the Student GuildIn a developing partnership, Convocation decided to recognise and support Student Volunteering, presenting an award for the top student volunteer. This was presented to Hannah Morgaine, whose impressive volunteering details were found in the Warden’s report.

Masonic Hall Innovation Space — contribution by ConvocationAt the beginning of 2017 a request was made to Council to consider supporting the development of a Graduate Innovation Space in the redeveloped Masonic Hall on the corner of Broadway and Stirling Highway. Many aspects of the costs and benefits of such a contribution were considered by Council over an eight-month period. At a special meeting convened to consider the

50th ReunionThe Warden reminded all that the annual 50 Year Anniversary Reunion luncheon this year, for the graduates 1967, would be held in the Old Ref in Hackett Hall on Saturday 21 October. All graduates of 1967 and those who were at UWA at that time were all invited to attend.

The annual 50th Reunion is an initiative by Convocation.

Keynote speakerThe Warden then introduced the guest speaker for the evening, Mr Tom Murrell, an international business speaker and the Managing Director of 8M Media & Communications, who delivered his address, Convocation’s Challenge – Communicating and Connecting.

12. Q&A Session

The Warden opened the Q&A session by inviting all those who wished to ask questions to wait for the microphone (because the session was being recorded), to stand and state their name for attribution in the minutes, and to keep their questions brief and to the point so that as many members of Convocation as possible might ask questions in the time available.

(L-R) Q&A Panellists: guest speaker Tom Murrell; Guild President Nevin Jayawardena; Deputy Vice-Chancellor Kent Anderson; and Chancellor Michael Chaney.

Question 1: Ray TaussConvocation raises and disperses funds. Constitutionally, can Convocation hold patent or copyright and invest as a partner in marketing UWA innovations? ‘Cause I can’t wait for the Convocation innovation of the year.

Response: Dr Doug McGhieConstitutionally, no, I don’t know that we can hold a patent. I certainly think that we can be involved in all such things

Council on behalf of the members of Convocation. The report was without any qualifications and demonstrated that Convocation was in a healthy financial state and able to pay its debts when they fall due.

On behalf of the members of Convocation, the Warden commended the work of the Honorary Treasurer, Dr Brett Davies, and the Convocation Officer, Juanita Perez, for their contribution to this excellent outcome.

11. Other business

Presentation of Convocation Medals

Peter Malcolm GreenThe Convocation Medal is periodically awarded by the Convocation Council to individuals who have distinguished themselves by their service to UWA.

The Warden, Dr Doug McGhie, presented the Convocation Medal to Mr Peter Green, who had committed his service to the University Cricket Club through his longevity as a player and also his commitment and contribution to the club since 1975, both behind the scenes and in the spotlight.

Convocation Medal presented to Mr Peter Green by Warden Dr Doug McGhie.

Hannah MorgaineThe Warden also presented the 2017 Convocation Medal for Outstanding Guild Volunteer. This year, the medallist was Hannah Morgaine, whose citation was included in the Warden’s report.

to join LinkedIn as a full member and pay – I don’t want to be a paying member, I just want to congratulate someone as they have done me. I can receive these messages but I cannot send them. Can you comment on this because…?

Response: Tom MurrellMy answer to that is you definitely need to be on LinkedIn on your phone and I would firstly maybe Google the problem and if you can’t find a solution on that maybe look at a YouTube video, that might explain how you overcome that, and thirdly go into a shop and see someone belly to belly and get someone to take you through.

Question 4: Michael AndrewsOn the subject of digital transformation and so on, as we know that digital transformation is disrupted, that is going to cause a lot of work to diminish and people have to start looking for it. And the question to the panel, and also to the Convocation, is that, as a university and also as a group of graduates here, what is our outlook and what plans we have? I do know that we have a central transformation of work centre, so what are we doing and how much is the… Convocation is involved?

Michael Andrews

Response: Dr Doug McGhieLook, I might take first answer to that, as Convocation and Convocation Council. Certainly in terms of the way we operate under statutes we’ve been limited in terms of our communication means and frequency of communication. And that’s pretty well where we’ve found ourselves and knowing that we have to do something to improve it. The only way we can do it is in collaboration with the University and the University’s systems, and we’re working very strongly at the moment to go towards that so to be able to link with the younger membership and, you know, any graph of our membership versus age would show that the bigger rump is in the younger end, and we need to be there. The University needs us to be there because if you take the example of the

and our involvement in the Innovation Hub is an example of where we can be involved in innovation with graduates, with students, with staff and so on. Would we be a partner in the value of the innovation? It’s something we’d have to take on notice, Ray, and check out for you.

Mr Ray Tauss posing a question to the panel.

Question 2: Dorothy CollinI would like to ask a question about the University’s investment policy. The Senate, as far as I understand available information, approved an investment policy in 2015 which was due for review last month. Within the 2015 policy there is a reference… one reference to sustainable investing. There is… the policy has incorporated a separate University policy on tobacco. There is no other reference to investment in accordance with sustainable principles, and the phrasing is that it is left to the investment managers to invest as relevant. Would it be time to be more specific?

Response: Dr Michael ChaneyWell the… as the questioner said, the policy is being reviewed and it hasn’t yet come to Senate for final approval and so I’m reluctant to talk about that in detail. But the policy has been in the past that it’s in the interests of the University to ensure that returns are adequate on our investments but that we should invest in a sustainable way, and perhaps the best thing, Doug, would be, when the latest iteration’s finalised, we provide some detail of that in the annual report.

Question 3: Ric SternThis is a question for Tom. Tom, I’ve been on LinkedIn probably since it’s… began and I have one of the latest technology phones – I used to say it was the latest but now it’s probably antiquated because of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone competition. It’s a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and for the life of me, I – and nobody has been able to figure this out at Vodafone – when I try to congratulate somebody who has just had a recent appointment on LinkedIn or celebrating an anniversary of some description, it will not allow me to do that on my phone. It brings me to a link that says upgrade your membership, and I cannot get rid of it. And I don’t want

and a lot of my experience has been shaped outside class, like getting involved in clubs and societies and the Guild as I mentioned before.

So part of our job as the Student Guild is also trying to find a reason to get students involved thorough the various different opportunities, whether it be volunteering, a club or whatever, and that may not necessarily mean they have to be on campus 24/7. It might just be giving them a reason to come onto campus to, I don’t know, volunteer or to even go out into the community directly and volunteer in some sort of organisation. So there is that aspect that we are trying to consider to shape that whole student experience, but it comes to online learning, it’s definitely something that I support because it does take a lot less – it takes a bit of faith when it comes to learning and managing the vast array of commitments that students are facing nowadays. It’s just a matter of finding that solution to find that nice balance of providing students with an array of digital learning options but also keeping them engaged in that face-to-face interaction that is important for networking, support networks and also personal and skill development.

Response: Dr Michael ChaneyPerhaps, Doug, I could add a few comments. I think this is a huge challenge for universities. Paul Johnson has made the comment when he was Vice-Chancellor that he doesn’t think… he thinks that half the universities that exist in Australia today won’t exist in 20 years’ time. Now whether that’s true or not, I think it illustrates the concern people have about universities, how they conduct themselves, how attractive they are to students. You can go online and do a unit of physics at MIT and get some sort of a certificate and I don’t think it’s a huge leap to imagine a situation where you can get a degree at a famous international university taught by Nobel Prize winners and so on. The fact is that university life today is not the way it was when many of us went to university 30 or 40 years ago.

When I came here, I came usually from 8am ’til 6pm except on a Wednesday afternoon, and I worked during the summer holidays to earn some pocket money to last me for next year. Well many – almost – well, most, I think, students now have a job during the week and so they come to campus occasionally, they work at their job, they do lectures online, they come down for tutes, which have quite a few more students than they used to have 30 or 40 years ago. And the challenge is to make university life sufficiently attractive that they do continue to come here and they see an advantage of getting a UWA degree versus something online. You know, at the moment it’s not a huge threat but I fear it’s a bit like a boiling a frog – you know if you don’t continually improve what you're doing and tackle the challenge you’ll find there’s a bit of a rush in the direction you don’t want.

wine function where we, because of our network, are able to pull together someone like John Gladstone who really caused the wine industry to move to the southwest and Great Southern 40 years ago – nearly 50 years ago – and he is known to us, I rang him the other day and he was delighted to be asked and to come along.

So the network is powerful at both ends and it’s that that we have to do, but we can’t forget Nevin’s mates either. They’re out there, they’re young, I’m sure that Hannah knows far, far better than I do… how to use her phone in various ways. I feel somewhat like a dinosaur there. But I know that we have to get there, and hence the request to Tom to speak tonight, so in collaboration with the University working with the systems that are there, appreciating the value of us and them, we can get there and we can make a real difference.

Response: Professor Kent AndersonThank you, and thank you for the question. Indeed I think everyone acknowledges that the workplace is transforming and we know the statistics, we know that the job of the future, there’ll be many transitions. People will have many jobs and we’re not quite sure what the job of the future is. The University acknowledges that and is working with it on a number of levels. One of the most obvious is the new Vice-Chancellor has set up a partnership with Harvard Business School to deliver online modules through the Harvard Business School, to prepare people for the skills to allow the flexibility that’s needed. That’s one example but there’s multiple examples of it.

But one of the things that concerns me personally about this is we’ve spent a lot of time talking to young people who are coming in as undergraduates but also coming in as postgraduate, and there’s a high level of anxiety about what they need to do. And so, hopefully, you’ve noticed some of our messaging is about how we can give you flexible skills and a broad base so that you can be adaptive and so that you can be a lifelong learner, and so those are the kinds of things that I think all of us need to be doing to prepare for the digitally transformed environment we’re moving into.

Response: Nevin JayawardenaSo the transformation around the role of universities within the next five or 10 years is definitely a difficult one to tackle. Myself, for example, I’ve spent six years on campus both studying and also getting involved and I think my main worry is that students will see less of a need to come onto campus, and equally there is also that need to provide a digitally flexible system so that students have… an array of different commitments, are able to, say, study at home and go to work and all of those sort of things. But at the same time if students don’t come onto campus then they aren’t able to get engaged with the many opportunities that we offer outside of class,

as a bulk export commodity and then we saw wheat being marketed for its specific characteristics, in particular protein, and we saw the emergence of specialised markets like the Japanese udon noodle market, where the grains were grown for a particular specification. We’ll see that same transformation in the graphite marketing space where industrial consumers will buy specific flake-size graphite for very specific uses in high-tech products.

Question 6: Murray RosenbergThis question is no criticism of the excellent presentations that we’ve had tonight but it relates to the use of PowerPoint and I was reading that old-fashioned medium, the newspaper, in the weekend. Marcus Bradley had a quote and he said this about PowerPoint – this is really to Tom, and I’m really wanting your comments on this quote, whether you agree or disagree with it, what you think of the use of PowerPoint. And quoting from Marcus, he said PowerPoint has sucked the art of entertainment out of the presentation business by empowering the most unimaginative, reclusive, bland-but-credentialed introvert to present well. What do you think of the use of PowerPoint or misuse of PowerPoint as a presentation medium these days?

Murray Rosenberg.

Response: Tom MurrellSo Murray’s question is about death by PowerPoint and how PowerPoint has ruined the art of presentations and, look, I couldn’t agree more. In fact, in reflecting on my own presentation tonight, I probably put too much PowerPoint in and therefore had to rush through it, and what I find is presenters use PowerPoint as a crutch, as speech notes and they don’t edit it down. So the key thing is to edit your content down so that it fits. And the other key takeaway is to think of PowerPoint as a television screen, so that if you put a lot of text on the screen, that’s like going back to the 1970s and teletext, when that was on our TV screens. And so what I’m finding is that with younger audiences… younger audiences, they want great visuals, they want highly designed visuals and no text. And this is really important when you’re

The Vice-Chancellor mentioned earlier the focus here on teaching and in recruiting 50 new academics and making sure that we have performance appraisal across the board here, we lift our teaching game so that we’re a great research university and a great teaching university and that I think’s one thing we need to do if we’re going to attract students.

Question 5: Ema Denby de BraganzaVideo killed the radio star, internet killed video star, will graphite kill internet star? What will it look like and should Convocation go straight for graphite?

Response: Tom MurrellSo, Emma, you’ve got a tongue-in-cheek question about whether the funds of Convocation should be put into walkabout resources in our graphite project, is that right? Look, I’m into thematics, and the thematic is that fossil fuels will be phased out and we’ll move towards a renewable energy economy. I’m sure there’s some road bumps in the way like in South Australia, but just look at Britain phasing out motor vehicles by 2040 with electric vehicles. If you look at the giga factories of batteries manufacturing starting up all around the world there’s going to be enormous demand for industrial minerals that go into batteries, and those industrial minerals are graphite. Eighty-five per cent of lithium ion batteries is graphite, cobalt and also obviously lithium plus copper and some nickel.

So we’re seeing a big demand in that but people don’t understand graphite is a very common element. You’ve got coal, graphite and diamonds all being carbon and their hardness depends on how much they were metamorphosed. So there’s lots of graphite around but all graphite’s not equal and it’s due to the flake size, so the larger the flake size the more valuable it is. And you can always make a large flake smaller but you can’t make a smaller flake larger. And we believe the larger flakes will find niche industrial applications in one area in particular, as a fire retardant. For those of you that saw the Four Corners programme about that flammable cladding on buildings, that’s horrific.

Now if you add graphite to that cladding material it then becomes a fire retardant because what happens is the flakes under heat expand and they pop like popcorn and so therefore it’s a fantastic fire retardant. So that’s one application we see for our large flake graphite. Plus when the flakes pop like popcorn you can then roll it out and create a graphite foil much like aluminium foil and we believe that aluminium foil which is in demand will be very much a new material that’ll be wanted in things like phones and TVs. We’re not talking about graphene, which is like a one-atom-thick graphite molecule, we’re talking about a high-value large-flake graphite which will be into niche products. And I liken this to the revolution in graphite marketing that happened in the wheat industry 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, wheat was marketed

speaking internationally, when you’re speaking to audiences where English is not their first language – you have to take out a lot of content, you have to customise your content and you need visuals that a picture is going to be more powerful than five bullet points. So, in answer to your question, Murray, if you’d like more answers, of course, I’ve got a whole book that explains that in more detail.”

ConclusionThe Warden of Convocation thanked all of his colleagues on Convocation Council for the support they have given to him in his first six months. He said that together the Council accepts the many challenges and great times presented to them as they represent the members of Convocation.

He reminded all that elections for the Council will soon approach with various positions becoming vacant and encouraged those that wish to be involved to nominate for a position and support their Convocation.

The Warden thanked the Convocation Officer Juanita Perez for her wonderful assistance and hard work. He also thanked her for all her advice and guidance over the past six months, and for coordinating all the arrangements for this Ordinary Meeting.

The Warden also thanked the University’s Activations team for their assistance in organising this meeting.

The Warden acknowledged Mr Manny Tamayo of Manny Tamayo Photography for delivering his impeccable services. Mr Tamayo is a UWA MBA graduate and provides all the photography for Convocation events at “mates’ rates”, as his contribution to Convocation.

There being no further business, the Warden declared the Spring Ordinary Meeting of Convocation for 2017 closed at 8.35 pm.

The Siemens software grant will also be used to help establish the LNG Futures Facility, a national resource based on a fully functioning LNG plant that will provide an entirely new training capability for tomorrow’s workforce. This is a remarkable contribution to the education of UWA students, now and into the future

Other achievements

The J. Robin Warren LibraryThe UWA Medical and Dental Library redevelopment was officially reopened by WA Health Minister, the Hon. Roger Cook MLA on Wednesday 29 November. The library was renamed as the J. Robin Warren Library in honour of Emeritus Professor J. Robin Warren, AC, Nobel Laureate who in 2005, along with Professor Barry Marshall, won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2005 for their discovery that stomach ulcers were caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

The Library, located on the UWA Health Campus, recently completed a $7 million refurbishment which has totally transformed the traditional library into an innovative, state-of-the-art, technology-rich space to enhance the student experience.

EZone2018 will see the commencement of Stage 1B, construction of the new building, of EZone, with completion scheduled for 2020. This state-of-the-art engineering facility that will signal a major change in the way our University delivers engineering, computing and mathematics.

Wave Centre at AlbanyThe University of Western Australia was awarded a contract by the State Government to establish a new Wave Energy Centre in Albany. The Centre will put WA at the forefront of offshore renewable energy and research technology. The $3.75 million in funding will help bring together more than 30 researchers to build understanding and increased knowledge of renewable wave energy, strengthening our position as a global leader in offshore technology.

Australia Day HonoursOlympic gold medalist Rechelle Hawkes was among 15 graduates and two staff members of The University of Western Australia recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours List.

UWA graduates David Coventry, Adjunct Professor at Adelaide University, and Professor Hugh Davies, from The University of Papua New Guinea, were among 895 Australians to be recognised with an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).

The Australia Day Honours List recognises a diverse range of contributions and service across all fields, including

A discussion paper was presented for input to a meeting of the Academic Board in November 2017. It was then made available to UWA staff and students via email and social media, respectively, to obtain feedback which was incorporated into the final version of the paper.

The project’s report on enhancing staff professional development and student research activities was also made available to staff and students for feedback, particularly on the report’s 16 recommendations. This consultation period closed last month and we look forward to the recommendations to come from this consideration.

Financial strategyNew Century Campaign The generosity of more than 12,000 donors has resulted in the overwhelming success of UWA’s $400 million New Century Campaign. The campaign, which launched in 2013 and concluded in late 2017, received the support of donors ranging in age from 19 to 99, including 7300 who are first-time contributors to UWA.

Together, these graduates, community members, corporations and organisations are enhancing the experience of students at UWA and ensuring the impact of transformative research and teaching well into the future. The close and success of the campaign was celebrated at a special event in November 2017.

Forrest donation On 22 May 2017, Andrew and Nicola Forrest donated $65 million to the Forrest Research Foundation, a partnership with all five Western Australian universities and hosted within The University of Western Australia (UWA). This donation has enabled the vision that is Forrest Hall to eventuate.

Forrest Hall is an exciting accommodation development on campus that has been designed to attract postdoctoral students and academics to Western Australia. When Forrest Hall opens in March 2018, we will have a new place to support students and Forrest Scholars studying at the other Western Australian universities.

Siemens software grant In November 2017 The University of Western Australia received a major industrial software investment from the global technology company Siemens to help students develop the skills needed for the highly digitalised world of the future.

The $447 million grant will give UWA students and academics access to global, cutting-edge technology that is used by some of the world’s leading companies, and will help boost local innovation, particularly in industries important to Western Australia, such as energy, engineering and shipbuilding.

Vice-Chancellor’s report2018 Autumn Ordinary Meeting of Convocation

Introduction

It is a pleasure to provide my report to the Autumn Ordinary Meeting of Convocation for 2018. As we build on last year’s achievements, 2018 promises to be another dynamic and productive year.

Strategic priorities

Executive Team/Key Appointments2018 has seen The Honourable Robert French AC formally installed as the 15th Chancellor of The University of Western Australia. Dr French was one of the first undergraduates elected to Senate when he attended UWA, and as the immediate past Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia he brings incredible experience to the role. In turn, I would like to acknowledge and pay tribute to our former Chancellor, Dr Michael Chaney, who for 12 years made an enormous contribution to the University.

This month we have welcomed our new Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simon Biggs. Professor Biggs was selected from a competitive field of applicants after an international search. Professor Biggs joins the University at an exciting time as we embark on our strategic visioning process and concentrate our efforts on enhancing the student experience, engagement with our community, and building on our strong global reputation for research excellence.

Dr Peter Dean has been appointed the next Pro Vice-Chancellor (Education) and Trevor Humphreys has also commenced as the new Director of Campus Management.

Leading Western Australian marketer Owen Davies

commenced in his role as Chief Marketing Officer in December 2017.

Academic RecruitmentThe global campaign Be Inspired aims to recruit 50 new academics aligned with our strategic priorities in both education and research, but also addressing the innovation, translation and impact agenda.

As at 7 February 2018, the campaign has generated 567 expressions of interest (EOI) via the online Be Inspired campaign site with a mix of local, national and international candidates. Out of the total, 485 are external and 82 internal, with a fairly even spread across the faculties.

Thus far two appointments have been made, with Dr Richard Vokes (Professor Anthropology of Development) commencing in January and Dr Elfie Shiosaki (Lecturer in Indigenous Rights, Policy and Governance) coming on board in February. A range of positions have recently been advertised and are progressing to interview stage.

UWA’s Strategic Vision 2030A key focus for the Executive this year is developing our Strategic Vision 2030, and in January this year I was pleased to share our positioning paper with the University. Following on from that, the Executive committed two days to the planning processes and we were fortunate to have external representatives from the sector join us, providing some invaluable insights and challenges, contributions and global perspectives. This planning process was a continuation of the session in December and is the start in earnest of a 12–18 month consultation and planning process which will involve invaluable input from the UWA community.

UWA’S Enhanced Education StrategyIn early 2017, the University set out the priorities for the University; these included enhancing the quality of teaching and the student experience to further deliver on UWA’s commitment to providing a world-class education. The introduction of the UWA Courses framework in 2012 explicitly intended to foster research-informed teaching and embed the learning of research skills in all majors and courses.

The Research-led Teaching Project is a continuation of this increased focus on research-informed education. The project is one of four within the Enhanced Education Strategy. The purpose of the project is to explore the nature of research-led teaching at UWA and around the world and to offer recommendations for staff professional development and student research activities.

funded for every domestic undergraduate student they enrol.

OTHER ACTIVITY

The Partnership2017 saw the launch and signing of The Partnership. The Partnership is an agreement between the University and the UWA Student Guild to bring students and staff together to establish a set of shared goals and expectations. This signifies a new era of cooperation and engagement between the University and students and will support a greater culture of collaboration so that both staff and students are able to better facilitate student success, innovation, and contribution.

Welcome estival2018 will see the introduction of a single ceremony to welcome new students and celebrate the commencement of the 2018 Academic Year. The Welcome Festival and the official Commencement Ceremony have been designed to align with the proposed December Graduation. At the Commencement Ceremony, new students will be welcomed to the University, there will be an academic procession, and the connection to graduation upon successful course completion will be highlighted.

The festival for the peopleIn 1953 UWA Professor Fred Alexander brought to life his vision of a ‘Festival for the people’. As with UWA’s involvement with the community, the Perth Festival has been growing ever since. From its humble beginnings as a community arts experiment to the international extravaganza it’s become, Perth Festival has always been a pride and joy of our university.

Perth Festival now stands as Australia’s premier curated arts festival and one of the greatest in the world. Congratulations to the Perth Festival team and organisers on their ability to put together such a unique and remarkable package this year.

Dawn Freshwater Vice-Chancellor

we get the optimum value from engaging in this survey and develop a better understanding of our key employer markets.

Safety on campus – Respect.Now.Always releaseThe University continues to work closely and collaboratively with the students and affiliates to implement the agreed action plan that resulted from an assessment of UWA policy and process; services and support; training and education; and prevention and cultural change. All policies relating to the safety and wellbeing of the University community have been reviewed and link back to the Code of Conduct (also being reviewed). We are now working with the colleges to align principles and procedures as are appropriate within this new environment.

Training and education packages continue to be deployed by the Guild and the University to re-establish the expected behaviours of UWA students and staff and build a culture of inclusion and self-awareness. This supports the revision of policies and expectations of conduct. The ongoing commitment to cultural change will be evident this year in orientation activities and student communications – shared by the Student Guild and the University.

Progression and effectiveness of the action plan will continue to be monitored by the Executive. We are committed to the ongoing reporting of our progress to external stakeholders.

Government Policy Issues and Engagement

Higher Education Reform Package and MYEFO changesIn the May 2017 Federal Budget, the Government announced a number of reforms to the higher education sector, as reported to Convocation in my report in September. Ultimately the Government was unable to secure passage through the Senate of the legislative amendments, and the legislation is unlikely to proceed. This includes the proposed scholarship scheme for postgraduate Commonwealth Supported Places, which had the potential for significant negative impact on UWA; the changes which would have increased the cost of university degrees for permanent residents and New Zealand citizens; and the changes to repayment thresholds.

Subsequently the Government used the December Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) to announce non-legislative changes, including a freeze on total Commonwealth Grant Scheme Funding from 1 January 2018, set at 2017 levels. This will result in a decreased resource per student, but will have a lesser financial impact on UWA than the funding cuts that the Government had originally planned through legislation. The more significant policy change is that in effect it is the end of the Demand-Driven System, whereby student numbers have been uncapped and institutions have been

professional endeavours, community work, Australia’s Defence Force and Emergency Services.

Honorary doctorateIn late 2017 The President of Ireland, His Excellency Michael Higgins, was awarded an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contribution to global affairs and long-term advocacy on behalf of minority groups including the poor, marginalised and underprivileged. Dr Higgins received his honorary doctorate at a special ceremony held in UWA’s Winthrop Hall, before invited guests, members of the Senate and the Convocation Council, and University staff and students.

RankingsThe University of Western Australia has climbed seven places in the 2018 Best Global Universities rankings to be placed 88th in the world and seventh overall in Australia and New Zealand.

The results, recently announced by the independent agency U.S. News and World Report, reinforce UWA’s standing as a major global player in tertiary education.

UWA’s rise from 95th to 88th is an impressive achievement and enhances our standing as a university of international repute. These results confirm UWA’s reputation as one of Australia’s – and the world’s – top tertiary education institutions. It is testament to how the University is continuing to invest in the future to drive excellence in teaching and research and reflects how UWA is contributing on the world stage.

The Best Global Universities rankings show the top tertiary educational institutions across 74 countries and help prospective students compare school options around the world. The Best Global Universities rankings evaluate universities on their research performance and their ratings by members of the academic community around the world.

Employer satisfaction surveyMonitoring employer satisfaction is a way for the University to track perceived effectiveness of our teaching programs. Improving this perceived effectiveness will lead to an improvement in our domestic and international reputation, which in turn influences student enrolments, industry collaboration and ratings and rankings. In a recent survey conducted by Social Research Centre (SRC) which runs out of ANU, it was noted that 83 per cent of employers were satisfied with UWA graduates; this is on par with the national average of 84%. Other findings include 87 per cent of supervisors stated that the graduate's qualification prepared them 'well' or 'very well' for their current employment, and 48 per cent of supervisors indicated that the graduate's qualification was 'important' or 'very important' for their current employment. The Business Intelligence and Analytics team is working towards a more in-depth investigation of this data to ensure

‘personality’ – meet and greets with student reps, better utilisation.

The Learning ExperienceBelow details the plans and suggestions the 105th Council developed to enhance the student learning experience as well as improve teaching quality at UWA.

1. Provision of content warnings for students where units tackle difficult issues such as mental illness.

2. Allocating greater importance to peer review of learning materials

3. Skills courses for tutors to improve their teaching before they even step into a tutorial.

4. Developing more dynamic ways of presenting pre-tutorial materials by using technology, for example introducing webinars or more online discussion boards.

5. Investigating the benefits of a class representative system to give students more ownership over their studies and integrate them better with their faculty societies and the Guild.

6. More training for unit coordinators in Blackboard to ensure they are using the online spaces to their full capacity and consistently from unit to unit and faculty to faculty.

7. Introduction of a new lecture capture system.

8. Advocating for and helping develop a centralised complaints procedure for academic issues.

9. Review of teaching content to ensure that information is current and engaging.

Early EngagementBelow are the ideas of the 105th Council where they identified that the Guild should aim to capture students’ awareness before they even set foot on campus for the very first time.

1. Early Contact – personalised email from the Guild President welcoming

The Guild and Convocation

The Guild and Convocation have enjoyed a longstanding relationship, working in partnership to improve the UWA experience. The Guild president and PSA President have the unique opportunity

to present on the Guild’s activities and participate in Convocation Council meetings. We are always grateful to update graduates on the current projects of students and to brainstorm ways to approach trying situations and support each other in tandem.

2018 Strategic Priorities

This year, the entire council developed a set of strategic goals and objectives that we wished to achieve in 2018 to demonstrate to students the value they get from being a part of the Guild. The platforms have been narrowed down to:

• Student Awareness• The Learning Experience• Early Engagement

Below are some highlights of each of these platform areas.

Student AwarenessBelow are the outcomes of brainstorms surrounding how we can better engage with students to ultimately cultivate the Guild’s brand on campus.

1. Regular BBQs – with a focus on generating student feedback on topics such as SSAF expenditure, spaces on campus, student representation, catering and more.

2. Physical presence around campus – development of a great merchandise choice, more Guild branding of Guild initiatives, space activations (also branded), ‘Grill the Guild’ events, utilise technology better in social spaces such digital screens in cafes, student reps doing one-hour drop-in sessions in the Guild Student Centre, a visible Guild Goals/Achievements board, Pollies in the Pub or speed dating with Guild Councillors for students to get to know their reps better.

3. Diverse social events – ‘President’s Big Birthday Bash’, greater integration with College Row with the introduction of regular RSD Tavern Nights and buses to and

Introduction

I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank Convocation for the invitation to present this report. I look forward to fostering a deeper relationship between the Guild and Convocation throughout my term as President. Thank you to The Warden, Doug McGhie, and the whole of Convocation Council for your support and warm welcome as I embark on the journey that is the Guild Presidency.

I’m Megan Lee, the 105th President of the UWA Student Guild. I am currently studying the Juris Doctor and am in my fifth year of university. I completed my undergraduate degree here at UWA, majoring in Political Science and International Relations and History of Art, and so am a proud member of Convocation.

I will take this opportunity to show you all some of the wonderful things the student representatives are working on this year, as well as some of the tougher challenges we face

them, getting sent Guild updates once they accept their offers such as a student survival guide, targeted online advertising, ‘open-house’ event during open day or campus enrolments for people to socialise with each other and student reps.

2. What’s on offer – integrating the University and the Guild’s online spheres so students can select units and sign up for clubs all in one place, Guild Starter Pack video from the Guild President, early advertising of Guild ‘teams’ for bigger community events like PROSH and Relay for Life so students feel a sense of belonging.

3. On campus – integrating with University-run high school tours, meet your reps during orientation, more of a Guild information style presence at O-Day including a speech from the Guild President and opportunities to sign up to different Guild activities.

4. On arrival – stickers on coffee cups, interactive activities, Guild logo on the library computers, 30-second ads in the first week of lectures about the Guild and clubs, sky writing, free BBQs for the first few weeks.

Guild Events

The UWA Student Guild is a benchmark student union across the country when it comes to fostering exceptional campus culture and for running excellent student leadership training. The Guild empowers other student club and faculty society leaders by giving them the skills and tools that they need to run professional, safe and inclusive events. We currently have 12 affiliated faculty societies and over 187 affiliated clubs.

In 2017 we had over 10,000 students attend O-Day, and over 200 stalls. In 2018 we dedicated more resources to promoting the Guild and the services and value we provide, with better prizes, marketing materials and on-

the-day site decorations. We were incredibly pleased to see a neverending line of students cycling through the Guild stall to become members, get their free diaries and tote bags, and link up with other clubs and Guild Departments.

In week two we will be running our biannual club carnival, which gives all returning students the opportunity to relink with their favourite clubs and fall in love with some new ones. This is a smaller version of O-Day held on Oak Lawn and provides an excellent platform for clubs and societies to engage with students beyond the Orientation Week period.

Other flagship events we are running will be Returners Festival and PROSH. Returners Festival has been given new life with a rebrand and different concept and styling. It’s now The Backyard Music Festival, with the tag line ‘welcome to the neighbourhood’. Boasting some very cool headline acts, all-ages facilities, and licensed areas, as well as fun activities to participate in alongside enjoying the music – the Backyard Music Festival will be a FREE event for up to 1500 Guild and community members. This event will raise the profile of the Guild and give students the opportunity to make amazing university memories.

PROSH is in its 87th year and this year’s theme is PROSHER THINGS (Stranger Things). Our PROSH Directors Jacob and James, and the Editors Hugo and Aicha, are well underway writing the paper and working with our four charities: Orange Sky Laundry, Angel Hands, Leading Youth Forward and Samaritans Hotline.

Guild Initatives

Capital Development – The RefectoryThe Refectory is undergoing a makeover. The Guild has invested $1.7M into renewing the space to create an exciting new hangout on campus for every kind of student. With six new outlets in the

works for the servery spaces, the Ref will also boast a new entry way into the Tavern as well as a rejuvenated indoor and outdoor area. The indoor seating area is designed to cater to students just looking to stop by for a quick bite to eat, through to the students who like to get comfy and spend the whole day studying on campus. The outdoor area will have a huge increase in the number and variety of seating options, as well as two new outlets. We will be one of the first commercial ventures to utilise amazing Australian-made and designed furniture that can use be used for events by our clubs and societies as well as external partnerships and private functions.

Student PortfoliosOur student departments are working hard to deliver amazing high-quality initiatives for students. Some of the key initiatives include the mental health event management and how to work with student volunteers to keep patrons safe at club events – both physically and mentally, College Row welfare weeks, planning for Mardanjoo Week and heaps of other student initiatives.

All our representatives are volunteers who work tirelessly to improve services within the University and the Guild, start new initiatives and run amazing (free) events for members.

The PartnershipMy predecessor, Nevin Jayawardena, worked with the University to develop The Partnership. It emphasises that students are no longer just consumers of education but today we are active learners that are offered an opportunity to be a part of the decision-making process.

This year as President I have the opportunity to work with leaders within the university to develop The Partnership in action. The implementation of the ethos that The Partnership represents is a pivotal part to its success and improving the student experience. Currently, the Guild has the opportunity to

work in tandem and proactively with the University on projects such as the Orientation Strategy, Education Strategy, the Campus Master Plan and the Information Technology Strategy.

The Guild’s main focus in 2018 is to develop a digital, engaging campus and learning experience that drives students to be on campus more often. Today’s students and learning environments have massively changed, and the Guild is working to ensure that the University is at the forefront of innovation, by working closely with the students at every stage including the planning, development and final decision-making processes.

Conclusion

Thank you very much for the opportunity to present this report and share the current projects and initiatives of the Guild and its student representatives with Convocation. It’s early days yet, and I’m very excited to see what becomes of all the student departments and other Guild portfolios as the year progresses.

I wish all the members of Convocation and the Convocation Council a wonderful 2018, and I look forward to strengthening our bonds throughout the year. If you have any questions about this report, would like to know more about what the Guild is doing, or have a new idea for how we can better work in tandem please contact me at [email protected].

All the best,

The Vice-Chancellor is developing a new Strategic Plan, and Convocation has offered to submit a Position Paper covering some of the key items of interest from the graduate perspective. These include:

• People and Culture;• International – UWA and the World;• Environments for engagement;• Trends, geographies, industries and communities.

Members of Council have offered to help in the development of the Position Paper and a small working group is being chaired by Immediate Past Warden, Adjunct Professor Warren Kerr AM.

Convocation’s role in relation to Statute changes

Convocation has begun its contribution to Statute changes, working with the University Secretary, Ms Deirdre de Souza, to amend and update the statutes that relate to Convocation. There has been one meeting with the University Secretary and her legal support, with an open process welcomed by Council’s representatives on that working group.

While there was intent to move more operational issues from Statutes to Regulations, the new Act leaves the processes for Convocation largely within Statutes. The working group and the University intend to simplify and clarify operations where possible. One important amendment will replace the costly postal voting arrangements with an electronic system for all Convocation elections.

Council would appreciate receiving members’ views on the proposed changes so we can fulfil the statutory role of Convocation “to represent the interests and opinions of members through effective communication and to present such views to the University and the community of Western Australia”.

Full details of the proposed changes of Statutes will be available on the Convocation website at www.convocation.uwa.edu.au.

Graduation ceremonies

Convocation continues with its important role at all graduations, with the Warden or representative welcoming all graduates to Convocation as new members. At the 12 different March 2018 graduation ceremonies, the Warden and Deputy Warden, along with three Councillors, Mr Jeff Gunningham, Dr Brett Davies and Dr Angela Evangelinou-Yiannakis, delivered the Welcome Addresses. There was one other special graduation ceremony since the Spring meeting – for the President of Ireland, His Excellency Michael Higgins,

Introduction

Since the Autumn Ordinary Meeting of Convocation held in March this year, there have been a significant number of issues concerning the University reported in the press. Many of these issues and the actions being taken by the University are outlined in the Vice-Chancellor’s report for this meeting.

New Chancellor

One of the most significant events that occurred since the last Ordinary Meeting was the installation of The Honourable Robert French AC as the 15th Chancellor of UWA on 1 February 2018. Convocation appreciated being prominent in his recognition of important contributors to, and functions, of the University at the formal installation ceremony. The new Chancellor has quickly joined in discussions with Convocation and related Friends groups.

At the same time, we have farewelled Dr Michael Chaney AO CitWA as Chancellor, who stepped down after 12 very productive years of dedicated and generous contribution to this University.

Vice-Chancellor

Vice-Chancellor Professor Dawn Freshwater has continued the quarterly meetings with the Warden and Deputy Warden. She has expressed a particular desire for Convocation’s members to be active ambassadors for the University wherever they may live and work, and has encouraged Convocation to take a lead in telling the story of the campus, highlighting its associated locations and people. This is an exciting opportunity for collaboration between the University, Convocation, the UWA Historical Society and the UWA Student Guild.

Communication

All members of Convocation are lifetime members of the University community and therefore an integral part of UWA. At the last Ordinary Meeting, Tom Murrrell recognised the rising number of new graduates and challenged Convocation to establish and maintain communication with its graduate members using contemporary media.

To this end Convocation’s LinkedIn page has begun this process. Tom’s theme and talk attracted some younger members who enjoyed the meeting.

As we review our strategic plan, the challenge of connecting with representatives of generation, gender, occupation and location has been highlighted. Many who attend our Ordinary Meetings, unsurprisingly, live relatively close to the venue, have been active with Convocation and its Council for some years, and completed their first studies at UWA at a time when the numbers graduating each year were small, and we knew each other across faculty boundaries. Our impressive list of responses for each meeting is more widely flung and confirms the broad relevance of Convocation.

The terms ‘Convocation’ and ‘Alumni’, and the roles of each are uncertain, yet only Convocation is enshrined in the UWA Act. Currently the University’s newest graduates, our youngest members, are not well connected with Convocation. Convocation values its opportunity to welcome new members as they graduate. Retiring (young) Councillor Zohaib Qazi has been a very welcome contributor over recent months, but he is at a stage of life where the need to travel is king. We hope to see him back on Council when he returns.

when he was presented with an Honorary Doctorate – and the Warden made a special presentation there.

The nature of graduation ceremonies continues to change incrementally but with Convocation retaining its prominent welcoming role. It is understood that there are plans later this year for super-sized ceremonies where the wide spaces of the University’s grounds will allow several of the smaller ceremonies to be brought together. The final structure and procedures are as yet unknown, but are of great interest to Convocation as graduation ceremonies present an important opportunity when Convocation has a prominent position in front of new graduates, our new members.

The President of Ireland, His Excellency Michael Higgins, was awarded an honorary doctorate in October 2017 and Convocation was afforded a prominent role at that ceremony.

Masonic Hall innovation space — contribution by Convocation

At the Spring Meeting in 2017 Council advised that it had agreed to contribute $100,000 in 2017 towards the redevelopment of the Masonic Hall into the new Innovation Quarter Exchange (IQX), with $8000 to be returned to Convocation. Since then there has been impressive progress towards the updated facility.

The contribution has been made from Convocation’s General-Purpose fund, as approved by your Council.

As noted at the last meeting our involvement with the Masonic Hall parallels Convocation’s ongoing interest in significant buildings at the University.

FiftyYearReunion

A highlight of the last six months was an outstanding celebration of the graduates of 1967. More than 100 graduates and friends gathered in Hackett Café for a most enjoyable afternoon. Tours of the library, grounds, the Gallery and the Hackett and Winthrop buildings, in conjunction with our ‘Friends‘ groups, were well patronised and memories and stories were shared. The President of the Guild from 50 years ago, Peter Edwards, travelled from Melbourne and joined Kerry Ross, Peter Bibby, Jan Lord and Hugh Richardson with incisive and entertaining speeches to the gathering. Then Chancellor-elect, The Honourable Robert French AC, also entertained the luncheon with his own most enjoyable reminisce. This reunion was special in that Pauline Tremlett, who for years has splendidly organised this benchmark Convocation event for others, did it again, just as splendidly, but this time for her own graduation year. Thanks from the many, Pauline.

Strategic Plan

In recent weeks Council has approached many of its stakeholders with the view of improving its performance. Stakeholders were asked to identify issues, that if addressed, would improve Convocation’s and Council’s effectiveness. Not surprisingly, the issue of the relationship between Convocation and the University is prominent, and Council is committed to a seamless fit with the University and the groups with which it mainly interacts. The results of this review and interaction will be reported more fully at the next meeting.

Convocation’s Strategic Plan relates directly to UWA’s Strategic Plan and builds on the sections of the UWA Act and Statutes which designate the roles and functions of Convocation.

It seems likely that even after the statute review, Convocation will retain the same key roles that influence the sub-committee structure.

• Representation • Governance • Contribution• Engagement• Events• Promotion

The obvious and early message is that communication with our members is critical and this has been difficult given some of the rules of engagement between Convocation, Council and the University in recent years.

Convocation embraces partnership with the University, seeking a stronger relationship and a fuller appreciation of the value of the volunteer graduate. Convocation’s Council and the University are committed to a sustained, smooth and efficient working relationship.

Recognition of Excellence

In recent years, following the initiative of Immediate Past Warden Adjunct Professor Warren Kerr AM, Convocation Day has been celebrated on 4 March, the anniversary of the first meeting of Convocation Council in 1913. Each year a select group of Convocation’s members has been invited to return to the University to observe the new President of the Student Guild plant a tree in the grounds and to reminisce on their experiences. In 2018 we invited past winners of Convocation’s Post Graduate Research Travel Award, these awards supported by members’ contributions, enabling the winners to travel to overseas locations to further augment their research projects. In the 30-year history of these awards, around 300 postgraduate researchers have benefitted. While not all invitees were able to attend, there were several excellent notes of appreciation for what the awards did for their research programs and subsequently their careers. It was indeed a day of celebration as Megan Lee made her mark on campus history with her new tree.

Australia Day Honours

During January, Convocation Council was delighted when the following graduates and other members of the UWA community were recognised for their achievements in the Australia Day Honours List.

Appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia: Professor Richard Coventry AO (PhD 1963)Professor Hugh Davies AO (BSc 1956, MSc 1964)

Awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia: His Honour Judge Peter Cole OAM (BJuris 1980; LLB 1981)Mr Walter Ferrell OAM (BA 1964; GradDipED 1968)The Hon Nick Griffiths OAM (LLB 1974)Dr James Savundra OAM (MBBS 1993)Mr John Sherwood OAM (BA 1967; GradDipED 1968; MA 1979) Dr (Bob) Chin Huat TAN OAM (MBBS '75),

Awarded an Australian Fire Service Medal: Mr Kelly Gillen (BSc '76)

Convocation’s Honours Committee plays a prominent role in nominating and supporting nominations for our UWA graduates, and this encourages an increasing number of nominations for those worthy of recognition being sent through to the Honours Secretariat in Canberra. Given that the evaluation process

conducted by the Honours Office normally takes at least 18-24 months, Convocation Council is hopeful that an increasing number of UWA graduates will continue to be included in future Honours announcements. Members of Convocation who are aware of worthy graduates are encouraged to contact the Council through the Convocation Officer so that confidential nominations may be progressed. Members are also encouraged to nominate worthy members for internal honours such as Honorary Degrees, the Chancellor’s Medal and the Convocation Medal.

Convocation Council

This report highlights the many issues considered by Convocation Council, and the Statutory requirements of Convocation. We have confirmed that we are particularly effective with our existing awards, scholarships and events, but that more can be done to maintain a friendly engagement with graduates, particularly our new members. The role of Convocation in the promotion and celebration of their achievements can be better done. Our current committee structure is considered appropriate and is as follows:

• Awards Committee chaired by Ms Nee Nee Ong• Engagement and Promotions Committee chaired by Dr Agi

Gedeon• Governance Committee chaired by Dr Susan King• Honours Committee chaired by Adjunct Professor Warren

Kerr AM• Events Committee chaired by Councillor Julie Matheson

All members of Council are expected to take an active role in at least one of these committees.

Convocation Council currently represents the membership of Convocation through a Council of 21 elected members who are individually elected for a three-year term, with seven Councillors completing their term on a rotating basis every three years. In addition, the Warden of Convocation and the Deputy Warden are elected on an annual basis for a one-year term. Convocation Council comprises the 21 elected members, the Warden and Deputy Warden as well as the Immediate Past Warden, with the Warden of Convocation chairing each monthly Council meeting. It is possible to amend this structure, and the current Statute Review is an appropriate time. Our membership will be kept informed.

Prior to the announcement of nominations and elections at the Autumn Ordinary Meeting, the members of Convocation Council are as listed below. The guard will change a little at the Autumn Meeting:

• Warden of Convocation Dr Doug McGhie • Deputy Warden of Convocation Dr Joan Pope OAM• Immediate Past Warden of Convocation Adjunct Professor

We also have three past Councillors who have been co-opted to help the Council and all have been excellent contributors over the last year. They are Pauline Tremlett, Jim Paparo and Graham Harmsworth.

Thanks

In conclusion, I wish to thank all members of Convocation Council who have contributed to the successful delivery of our roles and functions during the past year, with special thanks to the Councillors whose terms have concluded and are retiring, Paul Appleton, Garry Hawkes, Peter Robinson, Dianna Salvaris and Zohaib Qazi.

Finally I must commend the splendid support we have all received from the Convocation Officer, Ms Juanita Perez, in her untiring efforts to action the results of our deliberations.
