As I sit in my office and see the date 9 May, 1996 on my Deakin University Bachelor of Commerce certificate – framed and proudly displayed on my wall – it seems inconceivable that almost 20 years since that day, Deakin University Warrnambool may be no more…

There has been much media coverage since Deakin University vice chancellor Jane den Hollander’s announcement that Deakin University may not remain in the city (refer The Warrnambool Standard)

There is a public meeting being held at the Lighthouse Theatre this Friday 18th March, 2016 (details of the event can be found on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1541632609469614/ ).  Prior commitments will keep me from attending the meeting but I will be there in spirit and encourage all locals with an interest to go along and support Deakin University Warrnambool.
