📢University of Auckland announces new vice-chancellor!!! Professor Nic Smith has been appointed vice-chancellor of Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland. He will take up the role on 3 August. Professor Smith brings a sustained record of leadership in the tertiary sector. He is currently vice-chancellor of Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, a role he has held since 2023. He has also served as Provost at 澳大利亚昆士兰科技大学 (2020-2022), head of Biomedical Engineering at 英国伦敦大学 - 伦敦国王学院 (2011-2013) and was professor of computational physiology at the 英国牛津大学 (2008-2011).
