University Foundation

Current Foundation Board members John Shadforth, Simon Whittle, Jocelyn Walker, Karen Neuendorf and Michelle Hamer (from left to right).

The University Foundation was established in 1998 to assist the University in its development and enhancement by garnering donor support and providing valuable networking opportunities for alumni, community members, and friends of the University.

The key activities of the University Foundation are:

  • assisting alumni and friends to maintain contact with each other and the University
  • building strong relationships with the community
  • increasing donor support for University initiatives 
  • reporting the progress of this support and how it aids the University's development

Vice-Chancellor, Professor Greg Hill, and Foundation Chair, John M Dobson OAM, work with a group of dedicated volunteers, including the University Foundation Board, to build long-term relationships with the community and advise on Foundation initiatives and activities.

The University Foundation's first major fundraising campaign, Building Excellence, surpassed its $5 million goal to support USC’s Health and Sport Centre, scholarships and bursaries, and campus enhancement.

If you would like more information or wish to become involved with our activities, giving programs or volunteer opportunities, contact the University Foundation.
