Charles Darwin University, UK. Jodie Duignan-George has been appointed associate vice chancellor UK of Charles Darwin University’s London campus. Jodie will be responsible for leading the strategic development, growth and operations of the UK campus with a focus on building Charles Darwin University’s presence and partnerships, identifying unique business opportunities, and building a connection between the UK base and campuses across Australia. Most recently, Jodie served as associate vice president for Central Queensland University’s North and Far North Queensland regions, where she has led the establishment and growth of the University’s Cairns campus for more than a decade. She said her experience of more than 20 years in the university sector would enable her to hit the ground running in the inaugural role. “As a social scientist, I’ve long understood the transformative power of education and training, and I’m deeply curious about how access can be improved for maximum benefit—both for individuals and the communities they live in,” Jodie added.
