Melbourne Alumni eNews - Special Bulletin - Climate Change and the Environment

Dear Alumni,

Welcome to our first edition of Melbourne Alumni eNews - Special Bulletin, which focuses on Climate Change and the Environment.

This month we welcome a new batch of graduates into the alumni fold. To those graduates congratulations - we aim to keep you updated with news from the University of Melbourne and provide you with benefits and information.

I would also encourage you to view Vice-Chancellor Glyn Davis' recent speech to the National Press Club, which focused on the 'Quiet Revolution' taking place in Australian higher education.

We will keep you informed about the potential changes affecting our universities, a topic that Professor Davis, Chair of Universities Australia, is well placed to assess.

Sincerely 

Leonie Boxtel
Director, Alumni Relations
