The Four-Nation Cyber Security virtual study tour, in collaboration with our colleagues in the United Kingdom and South Africa, has showcased the best practices of six host universities from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The virtual study tour facilitated networking with peers from across the northern and southern hemisphere as delegates came together to consider the security challenges currently facing institutions everywhere. 

We have almost reached the end of what must be our toughest year yet in Higher Education. I’m sure all of the community has been tested in ways you never imagined this year, whether it be dealing with technology change at an unprecedented speed, navigating significant changes to our roles and teams, or just battling to stay sane in a locked-down world. I would like to think that everyone’s connection in this community has been some help in some way to deal with one or more of these challenges, I know it has been for me.

Participating in their final group session covering future goal setting, running successful meetings and the ever-important presentations back to the group, the 13 participants of the CAUDIT Managers Program have now completed the 2020 program.

The participants from the 2020 program have been committed to the revised online structure throughout the program despite the challenges that this style can entail. The program has been instrumental in supporting them as they navigated a busy, tumultuous, trying and yet inspiring year.

In collaboration with PaceLearning, CAUDIT will facilitate a free, two-hour ‘Powering Up’ session for the alumni of the CAUDIT Managers Program.

With exposure to leadership foundations, techniques for coaching, building resilience, influencing, and, facilitating difficult conversations, participants are developing highly relevant skills as today's new and experienced managers.

Leading up to 30 September 2020, CAUDIT is working with it’s members to establish a prioritised list of procurement activities to guide activities over the next 12-18 months.
