Welcome to your December edition of Alumni and Friends.
2024 has offered many of our alumni community the chance to reconnect, whether in Tasmania, interstate or overseas. We have thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you, hearing about your inspiring achievements and wide-ranging contributions.
Thank you too to those alumni who have connected online, whether via email or by attending or contributing to our well-attended 'Explore' webinars. Last months Explore featured alumna Dr Katherine Johnson's deep contemplation on how to write a novel, advice she is well-placed to give as the recipient of the inaugural The Australian Fiction Prize.
Indeed, we are grateful to all our alumni who have contributed as mentors, guest lecturers and donors. Also, if you missed our November 2024 Annual Meeting of Alumni, you can watch it here.
Finally, we hope you are inspired by our 2024 edition of Alumni magazine, featuring Australian of the Year Professor Richard Scolyer, visiting one of his childhood favourite's Cataract Gorge, Launceston.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and happy festive season and, as a Christmas gift, let you know about benefits available to alumni, from concessions on gym memberships and courses to free library access.
Warm wishes
Rebecca Cuthill
Director, Advancement
