David Gonski
“Education can fundamentally change and improve people’s lives. The journey of learning and discovery and the time spent at university can be absolutely transformational for individuals, and that's what students hope for in a university experience. We have very intentionally elevated educational excellence and the student experience as some of the key priorities driving our work.”
