In an exciting new collaboration, the University has partnered with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions to offer a world-first education program for people travelling to the Antarctic. HX travellers and expedition teams will have access to a new online course covering everything from the history of human exploration in Antarctica to climate change, wildlife and responsible tourism. Social scientist and program co-leader, Professor Elizabeth Leane , said the course will support travellers make sense of what they're experiencing. “People finishing the course will know about the environment, how it is governed, and how humans have inhabited it and impacted it. They will also learn how they can minimise their own impact and become part of the solution, not the problem,” she said. More: https://utas.au/HX

Last week, the Australian Ambassador in The Hague hosted a reception to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tim Hawkins Memorial Scholarship. During this meaningful occasion, Professor Tim McCormack was joined by four alumni from the University of Tasmania, including previous scholarship recipients. This scholarship was established in memory of Tim Hawkins, a commerce and law graduate of the University, who was tragically killed in the Bali bombing in 2002. It enables the recipient to take up a position in either the Judges' Chambers or in the Office of the Prosecutor for 9-12 months at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

University alum Dr Bruno Cayoun is a clinical and research psychologist and the principal developer of an internationally recognised method for treating various mental health conditions. The method, known as Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT) is being used worldwide. Dr Cayoun saw his mother suffer from clinical anxiety and depression while growing up in France and wanted to do something to help. After discovering mindfulness as a young adult, he was motivated to study psychology at the University of Tasmania. Now, Dr Cayoun is the founder and Director of the MiCBT Institute. He writes books and training modules for mental health professionals and runs a clinical practice in Hobart. But his initial motivation to help people like his mother remains the same.

Two University buildings have been recognised as among the best-designed educational buildings in Australia and the world. The Forestry building in Hobart is undergoing restoration to become a modern, inner-city learning centre. The project received the Future Project: Education award at the World Architecture Festival Awards held in Singapore. The River’s Edge building, which forms part of the expanded Inveresk campus in Launceston, has also been acknowledged for its leading educational design. The building was named a winning project at the 2024 Australian Institute of Architects National Awards. Justin Hanlon, Director of Capital Works for the University, said a range of teams deserved credit for the new spaces. “The awards speak to the collective efforts of many teams from across the community and University which has helped shape these campus buildings in ways that are unique to the communities that host them”.

Last month, we celebrated the opening of The Shed, the last of the new builds at our Inveresk campus in Launceston. This state-of-the-art home for science and health marks the culmination of a decade-long project carried out with the support of our government partners, to enhance higher education in Northern Tasmania. Now we turn our attention to the South to ensure those students and staff also have the best possible facilities. Today we announced that our plan for the South is a Hobart campus with four sites designed to provide students with exceptional educational experiences built around the best the city has to offer.
