Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Please join us to celebrate Em/Professor Erich Weigold’s 80th birthday at 3:30 today in the School tea room.

I’m still keen to hear suggestions about how the EMCR community would like to represent themselves and propose to sponsor a lunch to help you organise your thoughts.  Could you please liaise with your reps (Lan Fu, AJ Mitchell, Matthew Hole and Jenny Wong-Leung) about a preferred date and I'll advertise in the Event Horizon.

This week’s pic shows one of ANU’s jewels, the Kioloa Coastal Campus.  I wish Lan and the HDR Team, Luda and Karen, all the best for our first annual student retreat on Monday. 

Have a good weekend,

Tim
