2012 UTAS FOUNDATION DINNERS

Over 460 guests attended the UTAS Foundation Dinner at Wrest Point dinner Thursday 22nd March, where the Foundation Chair Mr Miles Hampton spoke about the success of the foundation over the past year.   “The foundation has had a remarkable year, receiving in excess of $7.3 million in donations towards various scholarships, capital works and programs,” he announced. “This is three times the level of donation income received just two years ago, in 2009 when $2.5m was received”.   International furniture designer Brodie Neill and Chief Executive of the Australian Sports Commission, Simon Hollingsworth, were honoured with UTAS Foundation Graduate Awards at the recent University of Tasmanian Foundation dinner held in Hobart.
