  • Farewell for Tim Mattingsbrooke

    Date: Friday 30 October
    Time: 4pm-5pm

    Join via zoom

    As Tim Mattingsbrooke has recently accepted a new role with OREI, the MERI team invites you to join us in farewelling him on Friday 30 October at 4pm. Tim has been with the University for almost 25 years, initially supporting MDHS’s clinical schools before joining the then Faculty of Education. The subsequent 18 years saw Tim excel in his positions supporting research training and human research ethics. He has long been a critical part of the research success of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, and we wish him all the best with his new team over at OREI. Please join us for a drink, a few words from his old colleagues, and any farewells you would like to make before Tim starts his next chapter at the University.
