How a
regional
university drives
Growth
T
he University of the Sunshine
Coast, like all regional
universities, plays a crucial
role in driving and supporting
the growth of its region.
A local university’s research can
support planning and economic
diversification while the supply of
graduates with the skills to support
new and established industries is
vital for local prosperity.
As a former Vice-Chancellor of the
regional University of Wollongong, Professor
Gerard Sutton understands the contributions
a regional university makes. “They drive
regional economic, social, cultural and
environmental development, innovation and
productivity, and unlock the full human
potential of their regions,”
