Emeritus Professor Helen Huntly - Reflections about a Brilliant Career as an Educator

In this episode of Sånt är livet i Sverige (or That's Life in Sweden) meet recently retired and former CQUniversity Vice-President (Academic) Professor Helen Huntly OAM. 

Professor Huntly was with CQUniversity for more than 30 years. She took up her appointment as Provost in late 2016, following her appointment as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Industry, Vocational Training & Access Education) in 2015. Professor Huntly assumed the role of Vice-President (Academic) after a university restructure in 2020.

Professor Huntly contributed to the broader education agenda through many roles, including as Dean, School of Education & the Arts, various senior management roles within Higher Education, and prior to that, as teacher in the vocational and secondary education sectors. As a proud (former) teacher, Professor Huntly recognises the importance of high quality, engaging and reflective learning and teaching practices at all levels of education.

Throughout her career, Professor Huntly has developed a deep understanding and knowledge of education and training. She is a strong advocate for the provision of learning opportunities for all, particularly in the regions, to help students reach their full potential and contribute to their local communities.

In 2017, Professor Huntly was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to tertiary education in Central Queensland. Her qualifications include a Doctor of Education (CQUniversity 2004), Master of Education Studies (CQUniversity 1999), Bachelor of Education (BCAE1980), and a Diploma of Teaching Health & Physical Education (KGCAE 1980).
