A window to our past
Brigid Ballard and John Clanchy (pictured with a graduating student) were pioneering figures in establishing academic support services at ANU who took an anthropological approach to their work.
In the 1970s, they championed the Study Skills Centre in response to rising numbers of international students. The Centre offered far more than a remedial service and helped raise education and teaching standards across the University.
Brigid worked at the Centre from 1977 to 1997 as Senior Academic Advisor before becoming Head in 1995. Brigid replaced John as Head when he had left to become the founding director of the Graduate Teaching Program at the ANU Graduate School.
