Professor Campbell will be dividing his time next year between Notre Dame’s Sydney, Fremantle and Broome campuses and is excited by the opportunity to further grow and devel- op the University across its three locations. “Universities such as Notre Dame are incredibly successful in balancing their commitment to academ- ic excellence with a strong pastoral care program for students and staff, which I see as essential,” he says. “As Vice Chancellor, I’m as interested in our students’ personal growth as much as their academic develop- ment, because the two are uniquely intertwined.” Notre Dame’s focus is on educating the whole person, and its Core Curriculum of ethics, philosophy and the- ology plays an essential part in this.
