Dear alumni and friends
It has been a great pleasure to meet with so many of you this year at the wide variety of alumni events the University hosted; which I do hope you have enjoyed.
I am pleased to announce two important new programs for which our international students need your support in 2010, if possible:
The past year has certainly been busy with the launch of AlumniOnline, the introduction of the Alumni Card, recent Alumni Council and Senate Elections, and a diverse range of programs and alumni events staged in and around Australia and abroad.
The University has faced many challenges this year, in particular navigating through the difficult financial climate. Whilst this is likely to have an impact on our activities in 2010, we look forward to bringing you another great year of alumni events and programs.
On behalf of the University, it is my privilege to wish you our very best wishes for the festive season and the New Year.
Kind regards,
Tracey Beck | Director, Alumni and Community Engagement
