Welcome to the December edition of Alumni eNews, bringing you the latest news, benefits, events and reunions.
We also provide a review of the Australian Boat Race, which our alumni attended in large numbers, despite wet weather on the day. There were mixed fortunes for the Melbourne crews, but the event itself was a resounding success. This looks certain to be an exciting addition to the University's sporting calendar.
On behalf of the Alumni Relations team, I wish you a safe, happy and relaxing festive season.
Sincerely
Leonie Boxtel
Director of Alumni Relations
