Dean of Education appointed
Dr Lorraine Ling has been appointed as Professor and Dean of the newly established Faculty of Education of La Trobe University.
The Faculty of Education operates on all campuses of the University but is based at the Bendigo Campus.
Announcing the appointment, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Michael Osborne, said: “I am naturally delighted that the University has managed to secure the services of such an experienced scholar for this very significant position.
“Professor Ling has been very active both in the region and on the international scene, notably in Vietnam and China, and she is ideally placed to enhance and expand the operations of the already very vibrant Faculty of Education.”
Professor Ling will be based at Bendigo and takes up her duties immediately.
The location of the Faculty headquarters at Bendigo reflects the very strong tradition of Education in Bendigo, stretching back for well over a century.
The strength of the Bendigo base for Education is highlighted by the fact that two of the constituent Schools of the Faculty are located there and both are due to advertise professorships shortly.
In addition, the Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of Campus, Professor Peter Sullivan, is a well-known researcher in Education and a member of the team of experts of the Australian Research Council.
