Holmes appointed Deputy VC for UWS

THE University of Western Sydney has appointed an internationally recognised business management and health economics expert, Professor Scott Holmes, as the university’s new Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Development).

Professor Holmes, an experienced researcher and academic leader, formerly at the University of Newcastle, takes up the position upon the retirement of Professor Andrew Cheetham in that position.

Over the past 17 years, he has held various senior leadership roles at Newcastle, including Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research), Foundation Dean of Graduate Studies, Head of the Graduate School of Business, and Professor of Public Policy.

He is also an Honorary Professor with the University of Queensland’s Business School.

“Professor Holmes brings a great wealth of experience to the role, particularly developing partnerships with business, industry, and other organisations, and his leadership in this area will be of great benefit to UWS,” said Vice-Chancellor, Professor Barney Glove.

“UWS impresses me as a university with great energy and purpose, and one that is conducting world-class research that is clearly having an impact on the local, national and international stage,” said Professor Holmes.

“I am pleased and honoured to be taking up this exciting and challenging new role, and I look forward to working together with the UWS research community to continue to build the University’s reputation for research excellence and innovation.”
