We encourage you to stay connected by updating your career and contact details

This information enables us to invite you to our events such as the Alumni Cocktail Reception at Llewellyn Hall, before the Evening of Science Theatre Celebrating 100 years of Astronomy.  This is an opportunity to enjoy some drinks and canapés while networking, talking about education and science with our Dean of Science, Aidan Byrne and discussing topics of interest with our Alumni and Student Ambassadors.

Our Science, Medicine and Health faculty and their colleagues look forward to catching up with some of you during 2009, to foster our interactions and continue to connect you with Science, Medicine and Health at ANU.

Yours sincerely
