UniSA
Vice Chancellor Professor Denise Bradley was recently named 2005 South
Australian of the Year.
Governor Marjorie Jackson-Nelson presented Prof Bradley with the award at Partridge House during Proclamation Day celebrations in December.
The annual SA Great award honours individuals who have enhanced the reputation of the state through their outstanding contributions.
Prof Bradley received the award because of her long-term commitment to Adelaide as an international destination for quality education and research.
Vice Chancellor since 1997, Prof Bradley has led UniSA through a period of rapid change to become a significant contributor to the South Australian economy.
UniSA is now the largest university in the state, a major provider and exporter of education programs and a leader in applied research, contributing to South Australia’s income and employment generation, social and cultural development and wealth creation.
Prof Bradley is one of only two women to win the South Australian of the Year Award in almost 20 years.
UniSA’s Chancellor, David Klingberg AM, congratulated Prof Bradley on becoming a recipient of the prestigious award.
“This is an outstanding achievement for Denise, who I think you will all agree, has made a significant contribution, not only to the University of South Australia, but to the state and the education sector nationally and internationally.”
