Welcome to your November edition of Alumni and Friends.
This month we are excited to announce the recipients of our 2022 Alumni Awards and congratulate our winners who are contributing in extraordinary ways to making our world better, from on-the-ground humanitarian work in Ukraine, to diplomacy, and important research into anxiety and depression.
We also find out about inspiring art extension classes created by Fine Arts and Education alumnus Hamish Hall, and recollections of a life well-travelled in Geology with Bob McNeil.
A new link has been added to eNews to ensure you can stay updated on how the University is evolving at each of our campuses via the Transforming our University tab below.
We hope you are inspired by the alumni stories below.
Warm wishes
Rebecca Cuthill
Director, Advancement
