Statement of Support
True learning is when you think and live what you know. Knowledge in itself must be lived and applied daily in your professional, public and private lives to be of value. A holistic approach to education allows students and staff to address all aspects of the learner's life to maximise their contribution to those with whom they live and work. Studies have shown that people with a sound Christian background who received a balanced education and early learning skills are more successful and happier in themselves and with others. A university which combines academic and creative excellence with spiritual growth will benefit and help develop local, national and international student.
Professional Biography
Raised in a church attending family of farmers and tradesmen in the midlands of the USA, Dr Jerry Anway was trained in a large range of skills and thinking, before gaining formal qualification. He has been and is a life-long learner with a balanced world view in both practical and academic skills. At 18 he was encouraged by both his family and Sunday school teachers to attend university.
With the encouragement of his lecturers, he was able to meet all academic requirements for a BSc and PhD by the age of 25. A year of study in 1965/66 as a full fellow of the Fullbright Foundation doing research at the University of Western Australia, qualified him for a position of Assistant Professor at Ohio State University. The time in WA whetted his appetite for the Australian way of life.
Following five years at Ohio State University, Jerry was a researcher and systems analyst for the Grassland Biome of the International Biological Program at Colorado State. At the end of his time there, he was invited to apply and obtained a position of Senior Lecturer at Canberra University in 1974. He left the university to be involved with private Agribusiness from 1982 to 1986, after which he was appointed Principal Lecturer at Dookie Agricultural College, Melbourne University, Victoria.
Having moved from teaching and research into more management roles, Jerry obtained an MBA from Griffith University and concurrently a Diploma of Ministry through AOG. This led to him being appointed as CEO of Burdekin Agricultural College and later being the Dean of the School of Business at Christian Heritage College.
Jerry retired from CHC to being a part-time co-pastor with his wife in 2009 until reaching full-retirement in 2014. His happiest experiences over his years of teaching in the USA and Australia was helping his students and staff to reach their God-given potential.
Jerry has considerable experience as a member of a number of boards over the last 25 years. Over his career he has published numerous scientific papers, written several accreditation documents for differing academic programs, authored parts of several books and advised several organisations on management issues.
