Welcome to your December edition of Alumni and Friends.
We're delighted to present the 2025 edition of Alumni Magazine, featuring the Tasmanian Franklin River rescuers - alumni whose courage and determination during one of Tasmania’s most dramatic wilderness rescues continues to resonate. Their legacy reminds us of the strength, resilience, and service that define our alumni community.
2025 offered so many opportunities for alumni reconnections - here in Tasmania, interstate, and overseas. We thoroughly enjoyed engaging with you, celebrating your inspiring achievements, and recognising the wide-ranging contributions our alumni continue to make.
We are also grateful to those of you who connected online, whether by sending us interesting emails with your updates, or by joining our well-attended Explore webinars. This year’s sessions have featured alumni sharing expertise across diverse fields, sparking lively debate and opportunities to learn together.
We also thank all alumni who have contributed as mentors, guest lecturers, and donors, creating more opportunities for our students, and enabling first-class research on the island to benefit local and global communities.
As the year draws to a close, I would like to wish you a safe and joyful festive season with family and friends. As a small Christmas gift, I am delighted to remind you of the benefits available to alumni, from concessions on gym memberships and courses to discounted health insurance and vehicle hire.
Wishing you a happy, safe and joyful festive season.
Warm regards
Rebecca Cuthill
Director, Advancement
