Celebrating success

Dear QUT graduate,

As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to say thank you for being part of our alumni community, and wish you a joyous festive season.

In this edition, we celebrate some of the many success stories from our QUT community. While we reflect on highlights from our alumni, research and philanthropic spaces, we also look forward to the possibilities that await us in 2022.

From February, we will be back with a refreshed design and monthly updates from QUT Alumni - keep an eye on your inbox!

Again, enjoy the end of year festivities, and we'll see you in the new year.
