Dear ExampleContactFirstName
Welcome to this month’s news and stories from Griffith University and your fellow alumni.
This month we feature exciting developments from the Menzies Health Institute’s research and global rankings news from the Griffith MBA. We also feature alumni stories from your peers. If you would like to share your story, you can express interest via Share Your Story.
Moreover, this month we launch the 2021 Annual Appeal, which supports scholarships for students experiencing personal or financial hardships. With the move to online learning and the loss of many part time jobs and income streams, last year was a challenging time for these students. Hence why the financial support from wonderful and generous donors like you has been crucial in providing vital relief for these students. This year’s theme is 'lifting up' disadvantaged students, a hand up being the boost they need to remain successful students. You can read more about the appeal and the students who receive the scholarships online at 2021 Annual Appeal.
Happy reading!
