Welcome to your July edition of Alumni and Friends.
At a time when our university embraces a mission of contributing for Tasmania, and from here to the world, this month we are proud to introduce our new Chancellor Elect, Alison Watkins. A notable alumna, and a self-described farm girl from Tasmania, we are excited to welcome her into this important role in our University community.
You can hear in her own words why she is so excited about the role here.
We also acknowledge the extraordinary contribution made to the University by Chancellor and alumnus, Michael Field AC, who leaves his position after more than eight years in the role.
