Recognising Excellence Daily: Thanks from the Provost

CSU has a process called RED: Recognising Excellence Daily. Today I recieved a RED award from the Provost thanking me for my work on the Professorial Promotions Committee. It was a privilege to serve on the committee. CSU employs some fantastic people.

On behalf of the University and Academic Portfolio, and as Chair of the Academic Promotions Professorial Committee, I wanted to personally thank you for the valuable contributions you made to this year’s Academic Promotions process. As you are well aware, Academic Promotions provide an important means of encouraging and recognising staff development and rewarding those who have demonstrated and sustained excellence. The significant time and support you have committed to this process not only benefits our academics and their careers, it also strengthens our University, the reputation of our University, and our ability to continue achieving our mission and changing the lives of our students and communities for the better. This year we had a terrific outcome, with 78 per cent of applications successful. This is an impressive 15 per cent increase on last year and could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of our Promotions Committees. 

I trust you enjoyed the process and I hope you will continue to contribute to our Promotions Committees in the years to come. 

Kind regards John Germov, Provost
