Western’s Vice-Chancellor and President, Distinguished Professor George Williams AO, is trading boardrooms for classrooms this year 📚

Just eight months into his appointment, and he’s teaching our Justice Clinic - where students tackle real-world law cases - and next semester, he’ll jump into our government public law course (yes, the one he literally wrote the textbook for).

Why? Because he’s declared 2025 the year of the student 🙌

Teaching, chatting in the student hub, helping at the food pantry - he’s showing up to understand student life. No assumptions. Just action. 👏
