News Release:

UNE Network to get Parliament House launch

Date 2/12/03 No 221/03

Richard Torbay, the NSW Member for Northern Tablelands, will host the launch of the University of New England’s Alumni Network (Sydney) during a cocktail reception at Parliament House tomorrow evening [Wednesday 3 December].

Dr Andrew Refshauge, Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Training, will address the gathering. The network aims to foster and maintain ties between the University and its past and present students.

The University will be represented by Mr Torbay, who is a member of UNE’s Council, Dr Peter Hemphill, a founding academic of UNE’s Law program, and Mrs Edwina Ridgway, Head of UNE's Duval College. Around 85 past and present students, many of whom have connections to UNE’s School of Law or Duval College, have been invited to the launch.

UNE’s Law Students' Society (LSS) is seeking articles for its Careers in Law Guide, a major initiative due for release in June 2004.

 

Tomorrow’s launch will provide a forum in which Law graduates will be encouraged to submit articles about their experiences of UNE to the Guide. By compiling a series of first-person perspectives written by UNE Law graduates and staff, the LSS intends to tell potential students that "if these people have succeeded at UNE, you can too".

UNE Graduates who lived in Duval College during their time at University will be encouraged by Mrs Ridgway to continue to take an active role in College activities.

The launch will take place in the Jubilee Room at Parliament House, Sydney, between 6 pm and 8 pm.

Media contact: Jennifer Miller, Alumni Relations Officer, UNE, Armidale (02) 6773 3365 or Clare Zagami, Public Relations, UNE, Armidale (02) 6773 3638.
