Dear ExampleContactFirstName
Welcome to your March alumni newsletter, where you can read news and stories from the University and about your fellow alumni.
Highlights this month include nominations opening for the 2021 Outstanding Alumni Awards and the release of the 2020 Donor Impact Report; an inspiring insight into the way our alumni and donors continue to support the University and it's students in so many ways.
Also, Australian residents could be eligible to save up to 80% off a Griffith University Job-ready certificate, with study commencing this July. This is an opportunity for you to upskill and advance your career prospects with a certificate aligned to your interests and the emerging economy. But hurry, places are limited and subsidies end in 2021.
Happy reading!
