VICE-CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE

VICE- CHANCELLOR’S REPORT TO THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL (Part 1)

5 February 2019

Topical Issues New Year Honours 24 Otago Alumni and staff received New Year Honours in 2019, including two Knight Companions (KNZM): Dr Ian Hassall (for services to the welfare of children) and Dr Rob McLeod (for services to business and Māori); and one Dame Companion (DNZM): Ms Diana Crossan (for services to the State). Current staff recognised were Professor Pat Langhorne, Department of Physics (New Zealand Antarctic Medal (NZAM)), Professor Andre Van Rij, Department of Surgical Sciences, Dunedin School of Medicine (ONZM for services to health, particularly vascular surgery), and Professor Peter Crampton, Kōhatu, Centre for Hauora Māori, Dunedin School of Medicine (CNZM for services to education and health services). Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic Professor Vernon Squire will retire from his position as Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic in April 2019, after nine years in the role and over 30 years of outstanding service to the University of Otago. Associate Professor Pat Cragg, former long-standing academic in the Department of Physiology, has risen to the University’s challenge of stepping into this key role during our very busy 150th year, and will take up the position of Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic from 15 April 2019 until the end of the year. QS Stars Rating System The University of Otago has retained its 5-star rating in the latest release of QS Intelligence Unit’s world university performance statistics, announced in December 2018. Otago gained the maximum 5-star rating in all of the eight categories; teaching, employability, research, internationalisation, facilities, innovation, inclusiveness, and life sciences & medicine. Overall, Otago reached the maximum possible rating of 5 Stars Plus and is one of only five universities across Australia and New Zealand to hold the 5 Stars Plus rating. Otago was first accredited under QS Stars in 2016. The QS Stars ranking has particular value in the international market, as it provides an independent validation of the quality of the University. Woolshed Bay Property Naming Ceremony On 5 February 2019 a naming ceremony was held on-site at the stunning four-hectare Woolshed Bay property which was donated to the University of Otago’s Foundation Trust by the Jardine family in 2016. The name, Hakitekura, was gifted to the Jardines by Ngāi Tahu and is a highly valued Taonga. Hakitekura was a local tipuna whose life was filled with courage and bravery. She was strong in both body and spirit. She made her own rules and took risks – qualities shared by both Dick and Jillian Jardine. The

use of this name is another manifestation of the University’s very important relationship with Ngāi Tahu. Hands-On at Otago In addition to the University’s 150th anniversary, 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of Hands-On at Otago (Whai Wheako i Ōtākou). The programme has grown significantly from its first year when 138 students attended the inaugural Hands-On Science (Pūtaiao ā-ringa) event. This year, nearly 400 Year 12 and 13 students spent a week at Otago to experience a taste of student life. Each student had a tailored programme for the week including one of 35 academic projects on offer, social activities and a presentation by Hands-On Otago and University alumnus Matt Carter, maritime archaeologist and a presenter of the television series Coast New Zealand. Thousands of teenagers have now experienced Hands-On Otago over the 30 years, including the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Right Honourable Jacinda Ardern. Rainbow Tick In December 2018 Otago formally became a Rainbow-Tick certified employer, reflecting the University’s strong desire to be a place where every employee feels valued and respected no matter how they identify. The Rainbow Tick is an independently verified quality improvement standard designed to make an organisation a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, takatāpui, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning (LGBTTIQ) staff. Ongoing certification is granted annually upon review and training delivered by the Rainbow Tick organisation will be available on an ongoing basis for University of Otago staff. Gender Diverse Options for Students The University of Otago enrolment form has been updated to provide a range of gender identity options for students to specify their gender identity, including male, female, female-to-male, transgender, male-to-female and non-binary transgender. “Mx” and “Ind” have been added to titles students can select from, in addition to Mr, Mrs, Miss or Ms. Students are also able to change their student details without having to provide any supporting paperwork. Tā Mason Durie Pae Ora Master's Scholarship A new scholarship in honour of a leading Māori Otago alumnus, Sir Mason Durie, has been confirmed as part of a new partnership between the University of Otago and a Māori health provider. Te Rau Matatini, the National Centre for Māori Health, Workforce Development and Excellence, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Otago on 13 December 2018. The scholarship recognises Sir Mason’s significant leadership contribution over a period of 40 years to the knowledge of Māori development, hauora (health), indigeneity and the future of Te Ao Māori. Leith Flood Protection Scheme – Dundas Street Bridge Closure The final stage of the ongoing Otago Regional Council programme of flood protection along the Water of Leith will require the closure of Dundas Street Bridge from 11 February 2019 for approximately six months. During the closure, vehicular access to the University Clocktower will be via Clyde Street, Dundas and Leith Street Central. No work will be undertaken on nine key dates during the 150th anniversary celebrations with the bridge being re-opened on these dates.

Volunteering Although the majority of students are still to arrive for the year, 1,300 students from our residential colleges have already signed up with the University Volunteer Centre to help Dunedin’s community groups. This is the highest number of signings at the start of a year since the establishment of the Volunteer Centre. Historic University Bell The historic University of Otago bell has come “home” to the Dunedin campus and sits in the courtyard between the Clocktower and Geography buildings. The bell, ordered for the city in 1863 was initially part of the New Zealand Exhibition in 1865. It was moved to the Post Office building in Princes Street in 1868 which housed the University of Otago from 1871 to 1877. For many year the bell disappeared into obscurity until resurfacing to be placed in the Meridan Mall food court in 1997. We are delighted that it has been returned to the University in our sesquicentennial year. Divisional Updates Health Sciences • The completion date for Stage 1 of the new Dental School building has been delayed

by the Contractor and hand-over to the University is now expected to be in late February or March. Students will continue to train and work in the Walsh Building until the new clinical services building is operational.

• In December 2018, the Division hosted the Vice-Chancellor and Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Strategic Development and International from the International Medical University (IMU).

Sciences • Professor Ricky Yada from the University of British Columbia, Canada has been

named as the second Harraways 1867 Visiting Professor. Professor Yada is a world-renowned expert in food structure and health relations and will visit Otago’s Department of Food Science in June / July 2019.

Humanities • On 1 February 2019 the Division of Humanities / Te Kete Aronui moved to a new

structure, comprising seven Schools: the Schools of Arts, Performing Arts, Geography, Social Sciences, the College of Education, the Faculty of Law, and Te Tumu, School of Māori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies.

Professor Gauld received the award and spoke at Victoria University’s graduation ceremony on 13 December 2018. Robinson Award, New Zealand Medical Association University of Otago, Christchurch’s Professor Doug Sellman (Department of Psychological Medicine) received a prestigious New Zealand Medical Association award in December 2018 in recognition of his work to help obese patients lose weight and have a better quality of life. The Robinson Award is given for excellence in medical writing and for a clinically relevant manuscript. Japanese Literature, Culture and Art Award On 9 November 2018, Associate Professor Roy Starrs from the Department of Languages and Culture, was awarded the 2018 Inoue Yashushi Award for Outstanding Research in Japanese Literature, Culture and Art in Australia and New Zealand. The award was presented in Sydney by the Consul-General of Japan.

2018 Translational Research Grant Winners In December 2018 two winning teams were recognised as part of the University of Otago’s Translational Research Grant Competition – an initiative to assist Health Sciences researchers in the pursuit of research which translates into societal benefits. The winners were: a team from the University of Otago Christchurch led by Professors Tony Kettle, Mark Hampton, Richard Gearry and Dr Nina Dickerhoff, who are developing a lab test to sensitively detect inflammation or infection in patients with a range of medical conditions; and a team from Dunedin led by Dr Phil Heyward, Matt Hall and Professor Dirk de Ridder for their work on developing new treatments based on particular features of brain activity. Audio-Visual (AV) and Educational Technology Award Late last year, Rebecca Ottley from Information Technology Services received the Outstanding Contribution to Innovation Award at the AV and Educational Technology Management annual conference, which was held in Adelaide. The award was made in recognition of her work in creating dual language AV management systems that operate in Māori and English - a world-first in AV technology.

She received the award of 2018-2019 country winner for the South African Development Community, North from South-African based company CEO Global. Kiwibank Local Hero Awards In December 2018 Dr Lynnette Jones from the School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences was recognised with a Kiwibank Local Hero Award for "everyday people who do exceptional things''. After a friend died of breast cancer, Lynette founded an on-campus gym for women battling the disease, which now has 140 members and is a place for the women to learn more about exercise and health. Professor Jacinta Ruru from the Faculty of Law, was recognised for her successes as Otago’s first Māori Law Professor and teaching excellence, and Tanya Findlater from the OUSA was recognised for her work with the OUSA Welfare Committee, Rape Crisis and Alphabet Soup (a support group for queer youth).
