Minister Nahan viewed the Greater Curtin Stage One site, the new Medical School building and the HIVE, and visited the Cisco Internet of Everything Innovation Centre where he met with some of our industry partners and saw demonstrations of new projects being developed in the Centre. I am pleased to advise of four research collaborations recently entered into by the University: I would like to congratulate all those involved in these important new collaborations. Congratulations to John Curtin Distinguished Professor David Treagust on being admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) in recognition of his contributions to chemistry education and chemistry education research.

Appointment of Senior Indigenous Research Fellow I am pleased to announce the appointment of human rights lawyer, researcher and Curtin graduate, Dr Hannah McGlade, as a Senior Indigenous Research Fellow at Curtin.  Dr McGlade is the recipient of the 2011 Stanner Award for the best academic manuscript written by an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander author, for her book, Our Greatest Challenge, Aboriginal children and human rights. She is the Deputy Chairperson of the WA Deaths in Custody Watch Committee and was recently appointed a Senior Indigenous Fellow at the United Nations Office of the High Commission for Human Rights in Geneva.

I am delighted to welcome Dr McGlade back to the Curtin community. Friday 8 July was National Hoodie Day.  Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) launched National Hoodie Day in 2010 to spread the word around Australia that Indigenous equals success and it has since evolved as a powerful symbol of unity, belief and change. I was pleased to don the retro look jumper, designed to encourage reflection on the journey and achievements of AIME throughout the organisation’s 16-year history. At Curtin, AIME mentors work with local Indigenous high school students. During Curtin’s four-year involvement with AIME, 419 students have been engaged with an incredible 95.2 per cent Year 12 attainment rate. Funds raised from the purchase of hoodies will ensure that AIME reaches its target of engaging 10,000 Indigenous high school students Australia-wide by 2018. Staff can purchase a hoodie (small or medium) on campus for $65 from the AIME office (211.138) or all sizes online.
