institutions and organisations.

"My time at Wollongong University was a wonderful
experience. Returning to study as a (slightly) mature
age student was a challenge, and the Creative Arts
degree provided a framework for my development as
an artist in a very focused way.
The direction of my career has changed significantly
since that time, as I have developed a broad range
of organisational and management skills through my
work, however my connections with creative artists
are very much a part of my work. My career development
is very much a direct result of my time on campus
in Wollongong. The many experiences - academic, creative,
social, and personal - and the fantastic physical
environment of the university in the shadow of Mt
Keira, have provided a great basis for me to grow
from." - John Davis.
