Dear ExampleContactFirstName
Features in this month's edition include Griffith's research work to track humpback whale migrations and a celebration of the many Griffith greats who were recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
We also showcase Griffith's success in the prestigious ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects, Nursing and Midwifery placed second in the world, and Hospitality and Tourism ranked in the top five.
You can also read about some of the amazing students you have supported through donations in recent years, and learn how you can continue to do so as part of the 2021 Annual Appeal. Many more students need your help, and every donation is matched dollar for dollar - so every gift helps.
We hope you enjoy reading stories about your University, fellow alumni and the usual mix of upcoming events and alumni benefits.
Happy reading!
