What current members have to say about being a staff representative on one of the University’s governance bodies:
“Being a member of University Council is a privilege, and a responsibility that entails consideration of a broad range of issues impacting Macquarie. The position has enabled me to see the operations of the University through a very different lens, and better understand the competing and, at times, conflicting priorities that the University must balance. I value the opportunity to provide my perspective on a variety of matters impacting staff and students, and to have a voice in the direction of our University.”
– Benjamin Dougall, elected Professional Staff Member of University Council.
“I have valued being a member of Academic Senate because it has given me a greater perspective on the issues and problems that affect other parts of the University, of which I was previously unaware. The scope of the University’s activities is impressive, and I appreciate meeting and working with a range of people from across the University both on Senate and in its committees.”
– Professor Judith Dawes, elected academic staff member from Faculty of Science and Engineering on Academic Senate.
