Dr Ondene van Dulm is EIT’s new Executive Director, Student and Academic Services.
EIT’s former Head of School for Health and Sport Science, Dr Ondene van Dulm, is returning from a secondment at Te Pūkenga to take up the role of Executive Director, Student and Academic Services.
Prior to working at EIT, Dr van Dulm was a lecturer and researcher at the University of Canterbury and the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. When EIT became part of Te Pūkenga, Dr van Dulm was seconded to the new institute to lead programme unification. She was later appointed as Head of Domain, Kaiāwhina and Health.
With the Government indicated change in direction for Te Pūkenga, Dr van Dulm has now returned to be part of EIT’s Executive team.
It is a role that she is not only qualified for, but one she is looking forward to.
“It’s going to be an interesting time ahead, with a lot of challenges and opportunities for our sector, so that’s pretty exciting. I think we have a great balance at EIT, with existing executives who have been in their roles for a while, and a few newcomers.”
“I’m really looking forward to contributing to strategic planning as we navigate the path forward for tertiary and vocational education in our region.”
EIT’s Executive Director, Kieran Hewitson, welcomed Dr van Dulm to the team.
“Ondene has played an important role in the establishment of Te Pūkenga and now she will bring that expertise to EIT as we go forward.”
“This is an important time for EIT as we continue to offer quality programmes. Ondene will add value to the Student and Academic Services role.”
