Ms McClelland, from Henley in Sydney, was named a member of the Order of Australia (AM) on the Australia Day 2015 Honours List.
She has been recognised for her significant service to a range of education, business, social welfare and community organisations and to public administration.
UNE chancellor James Harris congratulated Ms McClelland on the honour.
“Jan has dedicated much of her life to the community, through her involvement in many committees, boards and organisations, including Epilepsy Action Australia, the Medical Technology Association of Australia, and the NSW Commission for Children and Young People,” Mr Harris said.
“UNE is very grateful to have such a distinguished Australian as our deputy chancellor.”
Ms McClelland has served on the UNE Council since 2000 and was appointed deputy chancellor last year.
