The Honourable Geoff Wilson, MP Minister for Education and Training Education House 30 Mary Street Brisbane QLD 4000 Dear Minister In accordance with section 46J of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977, and the Central Queensland University Act 1998, the Council of Central Queensland University is pleased to transmit to you the following report on the proceedings of the University during 2008. In the course of the year, the University undertook a major assessment of its position in the higher education market place. Hundreds of students, potential students, graduates, staff and members of the community were surveyed for their perceptions of the University’s strengths and weaknesses and its standing vis-à-vis other universities. Out of this study was developed a new identity for the institution – the CQUniversity Australia brand – and a new media campaign – “Be what you want to be”. In conjunction with this repositioning, the University’s Council set forth a new vision for the organisation in 2008 and created a new Strategic Plan for 2009-2012. Our vision acknowledges the necessity to be competitive in both local and global education markets. More than ever we need to be innovative, entrepreneurial, and progressive in our approach to teaching and learning, ensuring that we meet the needs of industry and the communities we serve. At the same time it is essential that our customers – our students – feel that we are supportive, caring and approachable. In 2008 the University also reaffirmed its strong commitment to working with industry to build long and enduring partnerships. We are focused on developing knowledge, skills and innovations through the provision of education, professional development and research that meets the needs of our regional workforces and industries. One such initiative is the CQUniversity Knowledge Village Mackay, a community-focused site which will strategically co-locate vocational education providers, government and industry at the University’s campus. 2008 was also the first year of the University’s full ownership of C Management Services Pty Ltd (CMS), which manages CQUniversity’s Australian International Campuses. During the year, CQUniversity and CMS developed new governance, management and academic structures and protocols, including a restructured CMS Board with external Directors, which will allow for better corporate governance and transparency. From the Chancellor In 2008 the University also reaffirmed its strong commitment to working with industry The past year was another challenging year in difficult financial circumstances and I can assure you, Minister, that the University Council is committed to continuing the reshaping and renewing of the University in order to sustain it into the future. Yours sincerely R.C. FRITSCHY Chancellor 11
