Welcome to Origins A tangible sense of energy marks the first year of Charles Darwin University's entry into both Australia's higher education and vocational education and training sectors. We were inaugurated through a vision of creating a thriving university - one that fosters the courage to be different and one that cherishes and realises its geographic and demographic advantages. Through this vision we have been working hard at synthesising the contributions of a number of former institutions into a new, affordable place of learning that offers a fresh choice for further education in Northern Australia and beyond which includes a significantly enhanced interaction with secondary school students. 12

We have also focussed on expanding the capacity of our staff, our students and our professional relationships evolving as an accessible cultural and intellectual asset engaged with and relevant to the wider community. It has been a dynamic process with important learnings that will influence our future and great rewards, some of which are recognised in this edition of Origins. In 2005 we will continue to thrive and grow - not just because we are new, unique and fortunate. It will be because of our ability to display an energy that is committed to making a difference in every aspect of life. Let us all challenge ourselves next year. C Vice Chancellor, Professor Helen Garnett
