Message from

Studying at the University of
Adelaide means being part of
a rich tradition of excellence in
education and research, with
world-class academics and a
vibrant student life.
Seek Light.
The light of new knowledge.
W
elcome to the summer edition
of Lumen. This issue features
alumni and the difference
they are making in their fields—Annabel
Crabb in journalism, Adam Kimber
in law and cricket, and Moya Dodd
who is working at the highest level in
international football. It also features
Dr Basil Hetzel AC, who was recently
awarded an honorary Doctor of the
University degree for his distinguished
service to medical research.
Basil is one of many alumni who
studied medicine or health sciences
and used their careers to profoundly
better the lives of others. The University
remains deeply immersed in health
education and research, ensuring the
next generation of health professionals
can continue to improve the quality of
life for Australians and people across
the globe. As the new Royal Adelaide
Hospital nears completion, we are
building a health and medical sciences
building nearby, in the SA Health and
Biomedical Precinct at Adelaide’s
west-end. The facility will transform
health treatment, training and discovery
and will ensure we continue to train a
health workforce of the highest quality.
To build a new health and medical
school happens only once in a century
– and you have the unique opportunity
to be involved in this special project,
by adding your name to the Donors’
Wall. To learn more, read the article
on page 13.
I hope you enjoy reading this
edition of Lumen.
