University of Wollongong wins inaugural Commonwealth University of the Year

The University of Wollongong (UOW) has won the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) inaugural award as "Commonwealth University of the Year". The Commonwealth University of the Year award 2006 is being run, for the first time, with the Association of Commonwealth Universities. UOW was the only short-listed Australian university.

The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) is perhaps best known internationally for its annual World University Rankings which first appeared in November 2004. In case you are wondering, UOW ranked 196 in the world in 2006. Not too bad, if you ask me.

Honestly, I think the university should pay me for this.
