Rate My Professor Ros Gall

Associate Professor Ros Gall serves as Director of the Dookie Campus and Director of the Bachelor of Agriculture program within the School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Her deep connection to agriculture stems from a family farming heritage in the Dookie area of Victoria's Goulburn River Valley, where her ancestors arrived in the 1870s via bullock train from Geelong to claim newly opened land. Six generations later, the family remains tied to the land, now encompassing the University of Melbourne's historic Dookie agricultural campus. With over 32 years at the Dookie Campus, Ros Gall has played a pivotal role in agricultural education, coordinating the Bachelor of Agriculture course and subjects such as Sustainable Food Systems. She coordinates academic activities that prepare students for the agricultural workforce, emphasizing interpersonal skills, industry engagement through guest speakers, and emerging technologies like precision agriculture and smart farming.
