The volunteer-run Association connects alumni, students, and members of the community in supporting the educators, researchers and students of The University of Queensland. Celebrating our first fifty years is a great opportunity for alumni, current students, and members of the wider community to share, and enjoy, memories of their connection with—and attachment to—the University.
