Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n
Happy New Year, and welcome back to Flinders for 2025.<\/p>\n
I hope you had a restful long weekend and were able to spend some time with family and friends over the break.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to believe that January is already over, but great to see that many students have returned to campus, as we gear up towards welcoming our newest students in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Thank you to everyone who has been working so hard in the student recruitment and admissions space. Your work is much appreciated and you can rest assured that you are helping to create life-changing opportunities for students as they embark on their own Flinders journey.<\/p>\n
2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for Flinders. We\u2019ve seen strong interest from students across a wide range of our programs and locations, but growth is especially strong for our new City Campus and for our newly launched Flinders Online service. Indeed, the data demonstrate that through our City Campus and Flinders Online we are opening-up access to a Flinders education to more students from a wider range of geographical locations and backgrounds than ever before!<\/p>\n
Finally, let me take this opportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to the Flinders staff and alumni who were recognised in this year\u2019s Australia Day Honours. Their remarkable achievements highlight the many ways that members of our community contribute to society and inspire others.<\/p>\n
