Juan Salavara and the University of South Pacific

Juan Salavara is really an opportunity or an invitation to let's reconsider how we've always looked at regional identity. So the struggle or the challenges of making it relevant and continually relevant as we make progress or as we change over time is a challenge on many levels. It's not just philosophically trying to be clear in your head who you are and how do you relate to the other person, the other side of the ocean. It's also about funding and resources to enable a range of products to be relevant to others. And I think that's what university should be. Continue to be always open to making it better, be more relevant as our member countries own aspirations shift over time
