Nick Klomp : Season 3, Episode 8

CQUniversity Podcast - Greatvine

This week on the Greatvine we chat with CQUni's Vice-Chancellor Nick Klomp. He has been in the top job now for four months and has just completed his inaugural tour of CQUni's many locations, so it is timely to hear about his first impressions of CQUni. We also discover how his career has progressed over the years and about his drive to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities. We learn about his fascination with the science of teaching and his research interests in seabirds which took him across the globe to study in Glasgow. Nick chats about his family, including his seven-year-old dog Lola, who is having a ball in Central Queensland. He also shares about the University's new strategic direction along with the challenges and opportunities that exist for CQUni. Plus, we hear about his love of running, which he believes helps him become more organised, as well as discover that his 'happy place' is listening to music while hitting the pavement on his electric skateboard.
