On the eve of the formal VU City Tower launch (31 May 2022), I had a fantastic talk with Kirsten Jeffery, Project Director, and Franziska Locher, Program Manager, for the tenth episode of the People of VU podcast. As a former accountant and architect respectively, Kirsten and Franziska are passionate and highly-skilled individuals whose leadership was integral to the success of the VU City Tower – the largest vertical campus in Australia. From construction to COVID; from design to

At Victoria University, we have spent these past few weeks reconnecting with familiar and new faces through a series of on-campus events. What better time than this to release a podcast with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor People & Organisation, Peter Radoll, who fondly describes his people-centred role with the words: “No one has a better job than I do!”. Those who have met Peter would know his warm, generous and collegial nature. In this People of VU episode, he is incredibly candid. Peter shares

It’s rare to find someone who loves numbers as much as a Chief Financial Officer, and Victoria University’s CFO Lucy Franzmann takes it to the next level. Lucy has developed a unique perspective from her regional upbringing and experience in the arts and health sectors. From the Women's Circus to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Lucy has worked as a transformative CFO in a wide variety of areas. She truly tells stories with financials - and they are stories that matter. I have greatly appreciated

Behind the Victoria University City Tower is a stellar project team who were instrumental in its success. Led by Professor Richard Constantine, Chief Infrastructure Officer, he credits teamwork for keeping everything on track. One of the University’s most diverse and talented colleagues in terms of his skillset and contribution, Richard’s story is a highly engaging one. I talked to Richard about starting his career as an IT technician, progressing into management, and his service-orientated

You probably know his name, but do you really know who the Honourable Wade Noonan is? I had the privilege of having a deep conversation with Wade, the University’s new Deputy Vice-Chancellor External Relations and Partnerships, about work, life, and those that influenced him along the way. Wade’s experiences in the Trade Union movement, parliament and community organisations have shaped him into such an inspired, level-headed and value-driven leader.

2022/12/19

“It felt as if the world had been flipped upside down… because it did look like a carpet of stars” — I will never forget this poetic sentence from Nyadol Nyuon, Director of the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre, during the fifth People of VU podcast episode. It was an absolute pleasure to interview Nyadol and discuss her journeys in life and work. Her unique perspective is a breath of fresh air, and what a privilege it is to have her - a VU alumna - return to VU and lead the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre. This

After over 100 days at VU, John has already achieved so much – all while keeping his fifth edition publication on track. We talk about this and more in the fourth episode of the People of VU Podcast. A highlight for me was the depth of John’s passion for sociology and widening participation in higher education. A truly fascinating discussion! This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

Andy Hill is so humble for someone with an incredible amount of experience to his name. I dived into his background in the latest episode, where his passion really shines through. After originally wanting to study medicine, Andy discovered his love of science and research after impactful studies involving sheep and monkeys. It is amazing what we are learning about our colleagues in this podcast series, and I am so grateful to everyone for their openness. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

People of VU ·

2022/12/19

After she experienced first-hand the profound impact that healthcare workers could have on one's life, Danielle Kanatas wanted to explore how she could contribute to society herself. With a background ranging from training with the Matildas in the Premier League to Public Relations and marketing, Danielle sought something more. This led her to Biomedical Science at Victoria University and – subsequently – to becoming the student representative on the VU Council. She is now progressing her dreams
