Major General Lewis, who led the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) from 2014 to 2019, has been appointed a Professor in the Practice of National Security. NSC Head Professor Rory Medcalf welcomed the appointments, saying they were another "clear signal of the growing role of the College and ANU in informing policy debate about Australia's future".
