The 2020 Meet the professor series is a wonderful chance for students and staff to celebrate the careers and achievements of our newly promoted and recruited professors. Our speakers will share their specialist knowledge and provide insights into ‘what’ and ‘who’ influenced their lives and careers.

We will be announcing the launch date of the 2020 series in the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please contact us at university.events@unsw.edu.au
