HELEN ROGERS

I am currently the National Director, Pathways at the University of Notre Dame, Australia, on the Fremantle Campus. I manage, collaborate and liaise with Executive Deans, Heads of Schools, Admissions, Student Recruitment Board to ensure efficient recruitment and delivery of the Tertiary Pathway Program and the in-school enabling program, UniPath, across our three campuses (Broome, Fremantle and Sydney) including satellite sites. Part of my role as Director is to foster effective relationships within the University and external stakeholders but also lead a team of academics to develop, teach and coordinate student centered, engaging programs and provide students across disciplines with academic support both face to face and online. A main part of my role also involves advising students of the appropriate undergraduate and post graduate degree programs they can apply for, academic support available, how to improve employability skills, apply for scholarships and generally improve their options to be eligible for employment in their field of study. I have also managed, designed and lead the Academic English Bridging Courses for International students wanting to study at the University of Notre Dame. The AEB Programs were TEQSA accredited. I have strong management and organisational skills, am an effective communicator – both written and verbal and enjoy working in a fast paced, challenging environment. I am professional in my approach to work and my team. I have high moral values and believe in honesty, fairness and integrity. I have strong leadership and management skills, am strategic, adaptable to changing environments, think creatively am very solutions driven. My strong interpersonal and communication skills together with my negotiation skills have afforded me the opportunity to build strong relationships with the Senior Executive Team, academics, professionals and with external stakeholders.
