School of Optometry and Vision Science & Centre for Vision and Eye Research Annual Report 2021
Get PDFMessage from Head of School PROFESSOR MICHAEL COLLINS The School of Optometry and Vision Science can be extremely proud of another impressive year of achievements, both in the education of our students and in research and service to the university and community, in 2021. Our staff and students have faced the usual challenges of academic life, but with the additional pressures associated with the Covid pandemic throughout the year, that has impacted everyone’s lives in so many ways. Our undergraduate students have done a great job in successfully completing the year despite the many added demands posed by the pandemic. Online learning can only partially replace the rich experiences of face-to-face learning and the daily interactions with fellow students and teaching staff. Clinical training also created many challenges for our students, particularly, with the uncertainties associated with clinical
placements. A special thanks to our clinic coordinator Daniel Vu, the sessional clinical teaching staff, academic staff, and the clinical placement providers (WILS) who worked so tirelessly to ensure that our students met their course requirements. The PhD and MPhil students have also had to struggle with limitations imposed by the pandemic. Their ability to conduct clinical research has been restricted and they have been unable to showcase their excellent research at conferences. I know that the hardest challenge for many of them has been the inability to travel and see their family and friends, both interstate and overseas. You all deserve our greatest respect for your achievements this year. Our Head of School, Professor Sharon Bentley was promoted to Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health in early 2021. Sharon was highly respected by the staff and students of the school for her leadership and integrity and the kindness and respect she always gave to her staff and students. We were proud to see her abilities recognised with this promotion. While we were sorry to lose her from the Head of School role, she still retains strong links to the school through her position as Director of the Centre for Vision and Eye Research (CVER). Sharon embodied the values of the school: to act with kindness and integrity, to embrace collaboration, to foster curiosity and creativity and to strive for excellence. Our academic and professional staff have been impressive in their efforts to ensure the delivery of a high-quality teaching program throughout the year. This has involved the development of numerous new blended and online learning approaches for teaching to maintain student engagement and provide the best learning opportunities for our students. We have had two academic staff promotions during the year that deserve special mention. Dr Alex Black was promoted to Associate Professor and Dr Shelley Hopkins was promoted to Senior Lecturer. Both promotions were well deserved and recognise the important contributions that Alex and Shelley make to our school. Three of our staff were also awarded Associate Fellowship (Indigenous) of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) including: Professor Sharon Bentley, Dr Shelley Hopkins and Associate Professor Katrina Schmid, along with PhD candidate Kate Pecar.The school and CVER had another year of record performance in grant income (over $3M) and publications (105). We also had 8 PhD and 2 MPhil students graduate. We took great pride in the achievements of Professor Joanne Wood who was awarded the prestigious Collin Research Medal from Optometry Australia for her “outstanding contributions in vision, ageing and driving research over three decades”. There have also been some very sad events for the school in 2021. Peter Tran, a 4th year student, passed away and is greatly missed by his friends here at QUT. We were also deeply saddened to have lost Peter Swann, a retired academic staff member of our school, who will be remembered as a legendary teacher and a great friend to many current and past staff of the school. To acknowledge Peter’s contributions to the teaching of clinical eye diseases at QUT over many decades, we have named a student prize in his honour. Tributes to them both follow later in this report.We can take great pride in what we have collectively achieved as a school during such a challenging year. I’m very confident that we will continue to build on these outstanding achievements during the coming year. The vision statement of our school is “transforming how the world sees through education and research”. We should continue to focus on these high ideals as we strive for excellence in the coming year.
