Adjunct Professor at Australian Catholic University (ACU)

Thank you to the Australian Catholic University (ACU) who have invited me to extend my term as Adjunct Professor until 2027.

Here is what they wrote in their letter

Visiting UTS

Today I visited University of Technology Sydney. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor at UTS, and was able to catch up with colleagues and students as well as hold a meeting with CSU colleagues to progress some of our current research. I was thrilled to learn that Prof Bronwyn Hemsley has just received the UTS Vice Chancellor's UTS Medal for Research Impact 2023.

Planning with A/Prof Jane McCormack at ACU

A/Prof Jane McCormack is the head of the speech pathology program at the Australian Catholic University. I am currently an Honorary Professor at ACU and am enjoying collaborating with Jane and her staff. I popped into visit Jane this week after a medical appointment. We had the opportunity to discuss the MANY projects we have together. We have enjoyed working together for over 20 years - and when we get together our brainstorming is exciting.

Adjunct Professor at University of Technology Sydney

I have been appointed as an Adjunct Professor at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in the Graduate School of Health and the Speech Pathology program. This week I visited UTS and had the opportunity to meet the staff and masters students.
I was invited to teach the speech sound disorders class on Articulatory Foundations of Speech (based on chapter 3 of Children's Speech). What an enthusiastic and keen group of students - it was a joy to meet everyone.
