Vale Philip Chubb
Deputy head of Media, Film and Journalism Associate Professor Philip Chubb has passed away after a battle with cancer.
Dean of Arts Professor Sharon Pickering said Associate Professor Chubb, who was also head of journalism, worked at the university after a long and distinguished career as a journalist and won numerous awards, including a Gold Walkley, a Gold UN media peace prize and a Logie.
"Phil joined Monash in 2008 and was a driving force behind the journalism program," Professor Pickering said.
"I feel great sympathy for Phil's family and his dear colleagues in the School of Media Film and Journalism.
"Phil was a greatly cherished colleague and friend and the faculty is much better for his professionalism, commitment and care. He will be sadly missed."
