Two significant events stand out as we mark the beginning of 2011 at The University of Western Australia.

The first – covered in more detail below – was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Act of Parliament which established the University.  This was an acknowledgment of the important role of governance of the University, focussing on University and student leadership, involving (among others) current and former members of the Senate and its committees and leaders of the Student Guild.

The second milestone has been the enrolment of a record number of outstanding undergraduate students from Australia and abroad.  We welcomed more than 4,000 students whose high level of achievement maintains the University’s reputation of enrolling the most academically talented undergraduate cohort of any university in Australia.

Both events point towards the strength of your University and its vision of being “ … an intellectual and creative resource to the communities it serves”.
