PhD Studies and Work - Balancing Act for Cecile

There is nothing more equitable than a public health approach that reaches and influences all members of a population irrespective of wealth, socio cultural status, gender, or personal circumstances’. Cecile is a PhD candidate researching whether relevant theory can inform public health alcohol policy. In addition, Cecile is a Senior Consultant with Public and Population Health where she pursues her passion - that of public health approaches to substance use including alcohol. IIn her spare time she enjoys good literature, cheering along her cottage garden and vegetable patch, and cooking and entertaining family and friends. She makes a little time for serious travel most years. Cecile has two children and five grandchildren. Her other passions include the work of Rotary International as well as other International Aid Groups. Cecile supports a number of World Vision children in Africa and India as well as the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres. ‘If we each did a little to change what we would like to see changed – that would add up to monumental transformation’.

TILES PhD Student Enjoys Making a Difference

Danielle Campbell is a TILES PhD student working on ‘Community Policing and Refugee Settlement in Regional Australia: A Case Study Tasmania'. At the time of writing Danielle is about to submit!

Besides being busy with her PhD, Danielle has been involved in a variety of projects and programs organised at the University of Tasmania. Danielle is enjoying her current role in the Community Friends & Networks Programme (CFNP) - Support and Equity at the University of Tasmania. The programme’s purpose is to enhance the experience of a ‘new to town’ UTAS students by supporting them to build social connections and networks within the local Tasmanian community during their academic stay.

The programme welcomes international students; migrants; students newly arrived on a humanitarian visa; students from other states in Australia; and from regional Tasmania. CFNP recognises the myriad of ways our students respond to and need to link to the community. One of these opportunities includes linking students directly with individuals and families in the Tasmanian community. If you wish to find out more about the Programme then visit their website: www.utas.edu.au/cfnp
