End of an Era
Wednesday 30 April marked the end of an era as colleagues and students came together to wish Professor Ken Gibson a very happy retirement after 35 years of unwavering and dedicated service to the College. Ken is also a former Stran student, so when you add his student days here that’s almost 40 years!
As a lecturer, researcher and Director of Student and Learning Services, Ken has made an immense contribution to the lives of students, the reputation and life of the College, and the education sector as a whole, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
