There is new international operations leadership at the University of Newcastle, with recently arrived VC Alex Zelinsky appointing Kevin Hall senior DVC- global engagement and partnerships. Professor Hall moves from DVC R. He was acting VC between Caroline McMillen’s departure and Professor Zelinsky’s arrival at the start of November, securing a successful enterprise agreement after long-stalled talks, (CMM October 31).

“This portfolio will coordinate activities and identify opportunities between international student recruitment and on-boarding, domestic student global mobility, and research and innovation partnerships with leading global universities, institutes, businesses and industry,” Professor Zelinsky tells staff.

Hall replaces previous DVC International and Advancement, Winnie Eley who left for the University of Southampton, in September.
