Professor Carolyn Evans, Vice Chancellor and President
As we step into the new year, I am thrilled to share with you some remarkable achievements from your alma mater.
It brings me immense pride to announce that several members of our Griffith community have been recognised in the 2024 Australia Day Honours.
We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of one of our alumni, Emma McKeon AM, who was named Young Australian of the Year. The most decorated Australian Olympian of all time, Emma is currently part of the Griffith Swimming Team headed by coach Michael Bohl and will compete at the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Emma was part of Griffith Sports College while studying for her Bachelor of Public Health at our Gold Coast campus where she graduated in 2021.
