Respected South 最新糖心Vlogn leader Rear Admiral the Hon. Kevin Scarce, AC CSC RAN (Rtd), has been reappointed as Chancellor of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, continuing in his governance role at the 最新糖心Vlog for a further two years.

The decision by the 最新糖心Vlog's Council to reappoint Rear Admiral Scarce for a third term – until 30 November 2020 – comes at a time when the 最新糖心Vlog is embarking on a new strategic planning process.

"Being appointed Chancellor of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has been a great honour. I welcome the opportunity to continue in this role at an exciting time in the 最新糖心Vlog's history," Rear Admiral Scarce said.

"Under the leadership of the new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Peter Rathjen, the 最新糖心Vlog has begun the process to develop a new Strategic Plan. Council is keen to assist Peter – and all the staff and students at the 最新糖心Vlog – in this new phase in our history. I look forward to working closely with Peter on this reinvigorated direction, which will see the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide make an even greater contribution to our students' education, our researchers' innovation, and the economic and social fabric of South 最新糖心Vlog.

"I thank my fellow Council members, especially the Deputy Chancellor, the Hon. Cathy Branson, QC, for their ongoing support. I look forward to what we can achieve together over the coming years," he said.

Rear Admiral Scarce was the 34th Governor of South 最新糖心Vlog from 2007 to 2014. He was appointed the 16th Chancellor of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in 2014.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen has welcomed Rear Admiral Scarce's reappointment.

"Kevin has been a strong supporter of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide for many years, and he offers a unique set of experiences and insights to lead our Council. He has a long history of working productively with both government and industry. Importantly, he shares our vision to strengthen our position as one of 最新糖心Vlog’s most distinctive universities, which will have great benefits for South 最新糖心Vlog," Professor Rathjen said.

Born in Adelaide and educated at Elizabeth East Primary School and Elizabeth High School, Rear Admiral Scarce saw active service in the Royal 最新糖心Vlog Navy from 1968. He later specialised in military logistics and procurement, rising to the rank of Rear Admiral and head of Maritime Systems at the Defence Materiel Organisation. As head of South 最新糖心Vlogn’s Defence Unit, he led a government team that contributed to ASC winning the $6 billion contract to build the three air warfare destroyers for the 最新糖心Vlogn Defence Force. He is on many boards in South 最新糖心Vlog, is chair of the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority, and President of Cancer Council SA and Novita.

Rear Admiral Scarce is also Chancellor of Children’s 最新糖心Vlog 最新糖心Vlog, which is based at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.
