Preparing students for success: Geoff Scott to speak on campus
Geoff Scott will deliver the next talk in McMaster’s Seminar on Higher Education: Practice, Policy and Public Life.
Scott is a professor emeritus of Higher Education and Sustainability at the University of Western Sydney, Australia.
In 2007, he received the prestigious Australian Higher Education Quality Award. The following year, he led and wrote the commissioned research and analysis report on effective learning and teaching for the Australian Review of Higher Education, and led the Australian Learning and Teaching Council study, Learning Leaders in Times of Change.
Scott is also the author, along with Canada’s Michael Fullan, of the widely-used book Turnaround Leadership for Higher Education. The book explores how campus leaders can effectively meet the myriad challenges and expectations facing their institutions.
The McMaster Seminar on Higher Education: Practice, Policy, and Public Life is a lecture series presented by the Office of the President. The aim of the annual series is to encourage dialogue and inspire critical thought within the McMaster and the broader Hamilton communities. Wednesday’s event will be co-presented by the McMaster Institute for Innovation & Excellence in Teaching & Learning.
The session with Geoff Scott will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15 in Council Chambers, Gilmour Hall Room 111.
