Welcome from Vice-Chancellor Alec Cameron

Alec Cameron joins RMIT after returning to Australia from the UK where he had been Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive at Aston University since 2016.

He succeeds Professor Martin Bean, who stepped down last year after six years in the role.

Alec said it's honour and privilege to be Vice-Chancellor at RMIT, and is excited to see students return to campus.

"I'm looking forward very much to a vibrant return to campus," he said.

"Both for the engaging interactive education that you'll receive on campus, but also the social connection that you will make with your peers, with the academic staff and with the institution."
