Welcome to your June edition of Alumni and Friends, it's a bumper issue!
We are very pleased to announce that for the fourth year running, the University of Tasmania has been rated as the number one university in the world on climate action. You can find out more details on the prestigious Times Higher Education Impact Rankings in the Updates section below.
This month we also celebrate this year’s King’s Birthday Honours recipients who are making outstanding contributions from significant service to the judiciary to education and conservation and the environment.
We also highlight the rewards of donating to the Southern Lights Access Scholarships with a story about a young medical student already giving back to his community.
This month’s profile is on an accomplished Rhodes Scholar and company director now heading up Invent, the University’s research commercialisation entity.
There is also an opportunity for you to share your career journey or submit a photo for our global alumni feature in this years 2025 edition of Alumni magazine.
Finally, we celebrate the release of our annual philanthropy magazine, Impact. Please see the link in the Offers and Opportunities section below.
Warm regards
