The outlook for CQU in 2007 will see a continuationof the process commenced in 2006 of re-engineering andreinvigorating the University’s domestic course offerings.CQU has been very successful in its co-op programs, withthe engineering co-op program successfully challenging thetraditional engineering faculties at other universities withits unique partnership arrangement with the resource andmining companies which service the Central Queenslandregion. Similarly, CQU has introduced a new nursing programwhich places a greater emphasis on providing students withclinical experience. CQU’s other groundbreaking program isits Bachelor of Learning Management, which has receivedacclaim from both the State and Federal Governments. CQUtends to achieve more success with the programs in which ithas worked closely with its regional stakeholders, and this issomething it will expand upon in the future.CQU is a truly unique regional University. At its core isthe provision of higher education to its Central Queenslandregion through its campuses in Rockhampton, Mackay,Bundaberg, Gladstone and Emerald. However, unlikemany regional Universities, where the home campus isthe dominant campus, CQU is different. Our administrativeheadquarters are located in Rockhampton, and we are asignificant provider of flexible and distance learning, whichis mostly serviced from Rockhampton. However, half of CQU’sbusiness continues to be servicing international studentsbased at our Australian International Campuses in Brisbane,the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney. This will continue tobe a major focus for 2007.In 2007 CQU will also continue to remain very committedto its region, and will not move from this strong commitment.However, it does recognise that in order to grow, prosperand remain viable, it must seek alternative sources ofincome. CQU cannot rely on Government funding alone, andmust seek new ways of doing its business in a way that isentrepreneurial. For example, the flexible/distance learningarea could be further developed in this way and this is amatter that the University wishes to explore in more detailin the future.There has been a significant softening in demand indomestic enrolments, most of which is beyond the controlof the University. However, it is important to understandthe demographics of the student market and in order toaddress this downturn in domestic student numbers a marketresearch project will be commissioned by the University in2007 to gain a better understanding of the student marketand increase the University’s marketing activity in a moretargeted manner.2007 also marks the 40th anniversary of CQU’s inceptionand the 15th anniversary of it becoming an independentUniversity. In looking forward to this landmark year I amcommitted to working closely with our students, our staff,our communities and our partners to ensure the futureprosperity of our University.Yours sincerely,Professor John RickardVice-Chancellor and PresidentProfessor John RickardVice-Chancellorand PresidentVICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT’SREPORT AND 2007 OUTLOOKVice-Chancellor and Presidentʼs Report and 2007 Outlook7
