2022 - Award recipients

As a member of the University of Tasmania's alumni community, you are part of an illustrious award-winning family that continues to achieve extraordinary success worldwide. Meet just some of your inspirational alumni family.

After three decades working in policing in Tasmania, in August 2022 Donna Adams was named the State’s 15th Commissioner of Police. She is the highest-ranking female member of the State’s police service and the first woman to take on the role of Commissioner in the service’s 125-year history. She is a mentor and supporter of other women in Tasmania Police, encouraging them to seek professional development and promotion, and to demonstrate leadership.

A strong advocate for lifelong learning, Donna attributes her successes to her university education, citing the way it challenged her thinking and widened the lens on how she sees, considers, and seeks to resolve issues.
