Inside Lumen Winter 2009 Issue

Message from the Vice-Chancellor
Many of the graduates profiled in Lumen leave an enduring legacy to the University of Adelaide, through the impact of their education and their ongoing generosity to the University, both in spirit and in financial bequests. One of our most distinguished graduates and a long-time benefactor of the University is the Chief Minister of Sarawak, the Right Honourable Pehin Sri Dr Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud AO. It is with deep regret that I report the recent passing of his wife, Datuk Amar Puan Sri Dr Hajjah Laila Taib. The couple met while both studying at the University of Adelaide in the late 1950s. Our sincere condolences to Chief Minister Taib and his family. [read more]
