New Campus Head for Shepparton appointed
Ms Elizabeth Lavender has been appointed by La Trobe University to head its rapidly developing Shepparton Campus.
She will succeed Professor Brian Graetz who, after a lengthy and successful spell at Shepparton, is to take charge of the development of the new city campus of the University.
Announcing the appointment, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Michael Osborne, said: “I am delighted that Elizabeth Lavender has agreed to accept this exciting opportunity to play a leading role in shaping the new University Campus at Shepparton.
“She has worked extensively in the region, and is currently the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and serves on the University Council.
“She has the essential attributes and experience to oversee the development of the new campus.
“The University has had a presence in Shepparton for quite some time, but has been based largely in borrowed or shared facilities. A new phase is about to begin, as the University develops an independent campus and looks to expand its programs appropriately. In this context the appointment of an experienced and committed head of campus is most welcome.”
