Professor Dom Geraghty will describe the Northern Transformation journey from inception in 2016 through to the present. He will share how the relocation of the majority of the University of Tasmania (UTAS) functions from Newnham to the Inveresk Precinct is shaping new course offerings and research in the North, and the University’s vision for the future of higher education in northern Tasmania.
The Northern Transformation Project is funded by the Federal Government under the Launceston City Deal, the Tasmanian Government, City of Launceston, and the University of Tasmania. The project is now becoming a reality with three new buildings and a refurbished building adding to the significant new educational facilities.
Professor Geraghty is the University’s inaugural Pro Vice-Chancellor (PVC) Launceston, driving delivery of the higher education vision and strategic objectives for northern Tasmania. Prior to his appointment as PVC, he held a number of senior roles at the University, including Acting/Head of School(s), Deputy Dean of Graduate Studies and Chair of Academic Senate. Dom retires from the University on 5 April 2024 after 33 years at UTAS.
