If a leader is one who sets the tone of the organisation, then Taylor’s University has the good fortune of having Professor Michael Driscoll as its vice-chancellor. Trained as an economist and with over 25 years of experience as a university president and vice-chancellor under his belt, Driscoll’s greatest motivation and reward is helping young people achieve their qualifications and get a good start in their careers.
