Testimonials
I purchased a Graduate Walk’s paver as a permanent acknowledgement and celebration of my years spent studying through UNE, with the knowledge that the purchase was going to a wonderful cause in supporting future students with their learning.
Dr Wellett Potter - BALAW (Hons), PHLWLFor his 90th birthday, Lyall Abell's family bought him four pavers in UNE’s Graduates’ Walk to honour their long association with the university and to cement their fond New England memories. Lyall describes UNE’s external studies as “marvellous”.
All graduates of New England University College, Armidale Teachers' College, the Armidale College of Advanced Education and the University of New England, as well as UNE Honorary graduates, are eligible. Pavers are not placed on the walk in any particular order, so you may see a graduate’s name from the 1950s beside one from the current year. You may request a preferred location (eg. outside the Dixson Library) or a specific vacant spot. We will do our best to accommodate these requests but cannot guarantee Graduates, families and friends are invited to make a tax-deductible gift to the UNE Scholarship Fund. The donation amount is: If you've recently completed your course and you're preparing for graduation ... congratulations! If you'd like to see your paver in the Graduates' Walk on your graduation day, please note we need to receive your gift at least six weeks before your graduation date. Please note that your paver can contain Name and Year of Graduation only. There is a maximum of 3 lines and 12 characters per line (including spaces). Pavers are installed four times per year in mid January, April, August and November. If you wish to meet a particular installation date, please ensure your order is placed at least 6 weeks prior to the time of installation. If you have a preferred location for your Graduates' Walk paver, please state this in the paver text option below. Alumni Relations will endeavour to place the paver as close as possible to your preferred location. If you would like to find out more about the Graduates' Walk, please contact Alumni Relations at alumni@une.edu.au Please note: The University of New England has final approval on paver text. Once the paver has been manufactured, no changes can be made, e.g. adding an additional year. Once laid, pavers will not be relocated.More information
