"In particular, I would like to acknowledge Alex's development of the Management Plan for Learning and Teaching, her support of the scholarship of learning and teaching throughout the University, and her leadership in the professional development of academic staff, particularly those at the Australian International Campuses," Professor Rickard said.

During Professor Radloff's tenure, the University has received no fewer than 10 Carrick or Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) citations and awards for excellence.

"She has championed the student journey at CQUniversity and has, since her arrival, helped to truly transform learning and teaching here, driving us to learn more about the ‘whole' student and encouraging each of us to have true and authentic appreciation and understanding of our students."

Between now and her departure, Professor Radloff will continue in her current position, focusing on providing input into the DTLS (Division of Teaching and Learning Services) restructure and the Quality Committee of Academic Board (on an action plan to guide preparation for the AUQA Cycle 2 audit of CQUniversity scheduled for 2010).
