Candidates’ statements

Rick Flowers

I have extensive knowledge of TEQSA and internal UTS accreditation requirements. With research and teaching expertise in the field of curriculum design, and extensive experience in mid-level leadership positions in teaching and learning portfolios at a Faculty and School level, I will be able to cast a keen eye over accreditation and re-accreditation proposals.

Chris Wong

As an academic staff representative on the CAC, I bring my expertise from my current role as Director, Education and Chair, Faculty Courses Committee (Faculty of Engineering and IT) into the Course Accreditation Committee. As the proposer for many OCAP items including new courses and internal re-accreditation, I also bring a nuanced perspective from the faculty and school administration.

In addition, my personal research and interests in educational recommender systems and curriculum design and visualisation will enhance my role as a CAC member. I find joy in helping our UTS community (both academic, management and professional staff) get their ideas and concepts through the various commitees - I see myself as a positive enabler tempered with a practical viewpoint from my 20 years experience in the higher education sector.
