UNE honours its brightest in Science, Health studies
October 07, 2004
The founding member of Women In Agriculture, Catherine McGowan (AO), will be guest speaker at the University of New England’s graduation ceremony to be held tomorrow (October 8).
Ms McGowan has held the positions of Secretary, Vice-President and President of Australian Women in Agriculture. She has also chaired the Regional Women's Advisory Council and been involved in many facets of agripolitics.
Degrees, diplomas and certificates in Science, Education, Health and Professional Studies will be conferred on a total of 225 students at the ceremony, held on the lawns of Booloominbah.
During the ceremony, expected to last about three hours, 21 graduates from UNE will be bestowed with a Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD, for a broad range of theses.
These include Mr Matthew Cameron, from UNE’s School of Environmental Sciences receiving a PhD for his work on the Glossy Black Cockatoo in Central NSW as well as Ms Mary MacLean Panko from UNE’s School of Professional Development for her work on The Impact of Teaching Beliefs on the Practice of E-Moderators.
The ceremony starts with a speech from Ms McGowan and will be followed with the conferring of Honorary degrees on Emeritus Professor Grant Harman (widely acknowledged as a world leader in the analysis of higher education) and Mr Max Woods, Master of Rural Science.
Mr Woods has played a key role in fostering agricultural research programs in the area, particularly involving soil degradation issues.
Deputy Chancellor of UNE, James Harris, will then confer degrees to students who have completed Masters and Bachelor degrees from the Faculties of Science and Education, Health and Professional Studies.
A separate graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday for students from the Faculties of Arts and Economics, Business and Law.
