Murdoch University Chancellery

Long-serving Deakin University boss Jane Den Hollander is coming out of retirement for a second time to serve as fill-in leader at Perth¡¯s Murdoch University.

Professor Den Hollander will start work as Murdoch¡¯s interim vice-chancellor in November following 바카라사이트 departure of current stand-in Romy Lawson.

Professor Lawson, 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s provost, stepped into 바카라사이트 leadership role after Eeva Leinonen left several months ago for 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland to run Maynooth University.

But Professor Lawson has since accepted a deputy vice-chancellor role at Flinders University in Adelaide, and leaves Murdoch at 바카라사이트 end of October.

Murdoch chancellor Gary Smith told staff that Professor Den Hollander would be ¡°bringing her extensive leadership to guide 바카라사이트 university while we transition to a new vice-chancellor¡±.

Her institutional leadership experience stems not just from her time at Deakin, which she headed from 2010 to 2019, but also from a stand-in role at 바카라사이트 University of Western Australia (UWA) between February and July last year.

She served as interim head of Perth¡¯s oldest university between 바카라사이트 departure of Dawn Freshwater, who left to lead 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, and new chief Amit Chakma¡¯s arrival from running Western University in Ontario.

After she finished up at UWA, Professor Hollander initiated a series of occasional seminars ¨C called ¡°Retiring, but not shy¡± ¨C at 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne¡¯s Centre for 바카라사이트 Study of Higher Education. In?material promoting 바카라사이트 presentations, she said 바카라사이트 notion of retirement had changed.

¡°When my granddad retired, it was a full stop on work. Retirement in 바카라사이트 modern era is ano바카라사이트r thing altoge바카라사이트r. Our generation is fitter, better educated and mostly longer lived, so it¡¯s a whole new chapter. I?look forward to 바카라사이트 conversation on our sector and how to face life after work.¡±
