Farewell and thank you
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you, to you, our UniSA alumni community.
This is our final edition of UniSA Connect before we move forward as Adelaide University – and a brand new alumni newsletter hits your inbox!
It’s been a privilege to witness the pride, generosity and impact that radiates from this community here in South Australia and across the world. Every story shared, every connection made, every moment of support offered to the next generation has reminded me of what makes UniSA so special.
I’m delighted to introduce Liz Hawkins, who will lead as the new Chief Advancement Officer for Adelaide University. Not only is Liz a long-time friend of mine and a valued colleague, she is a phenomenal leader and well known around Australia and internationally for her work in Advancement. I know the alumni community will be in excellent hands as the next chapter begins.
As I step away, I do so with deep gratitude for the way our alumni continue to embody the University’s spirit – bold, unstoppable, and committed to making a difference.
Adelaide University has an extraordinary future ahead, and I’ll be watching proudly as you continue to shape it.
Dr Colin Taylor, Chief Advancement Officer, UniSA
