Welcome to your May edition of Alumni and Friends.
This month, we take you to remote parts of Australia and beyond to discover the life-changing work of one alumnus who is improving hundreds of lives.
We also celebrate an alumna’s success as the recipient of the country’s leading landscape art prize and share the story of one Diploma of Family History graduate whose journey shows how nurturing and furthering your learning can lead to new and unexpected career paths.
Discover a vibrant showcase of events hosted by our University below, along with valuable opportunities – including a free new course designed to deepen your understanding of climate change.
I hope you enjoy reading this month’s newsletter.
Warm regards
Rebecca Cuthill
Director, Advancement, University of Tasmania
