The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges with deep sadness the passing of Professor Emma Johnston AO, Vice‑Chancellor of the University of Melbourne—a world-leading marine scientist, national advocate for science and research, and influential university leader.
We recognise Professor Johnston’s outstanding contributions to science, her influential work across Australia’s university sector, and her commitment to advancing knowledge and building a student-centred university community. We extend our condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and the wider University of Melbourne community.
