Meanwhile, while preparing to start as Head of King’s College at University of Queensland (my alma mater) later this year, I am working on a book - “The College Ideal” - which argues for collegiate education, and I hope reflects something of what is so special about St Mark’s.

Great to see my wonderful recent position - Head of St Mark’s College, Adelaide - advertised. St Mark’s is a very special university college. I love its students, staff, and supportive community. For the right person, this is a profoundly rewarding role.
