| Thank you for taking the time to open this edition of your Alumni Newsletter. We value your continued interest and engagement in the life of your university. | | 2023 has provided much colour and excitement so far, whether that is the buzz of students and staff across our campuses or when I have the chance to meet Griffith alumni locally here in Queensland or beyond. There is much more to come not just for the remainder of this year but already we are starting to think what might appeal to you as Griffith celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. | | Read his full message |
