ALUMNI & SUPPORTERS
Pioneers
UNSW alumni who graduated between 1952 and 1977, the pioneers of the University of New South Wales as an independent entity, can join the UNSW Pioneers along with graduates and diplomates of UNSW's former institutions. There are more than 200 active members of the group who share the "pioneering" spirit of the University, having played an important role in establishing its position and reputation.
New members are welcome. To contact or join this special group of people telephone the Chair, Dr Keith Bowling, on (02) 9144 4851 or email: alumni@unsw.edu.au
Regular lunches with talks by high profile and interesting speakers are held in Sydney throughout the year providing great networking opportunities as well as the chance to catch up with old friends. To make sure that you are "on the list" to receive advance notice of the remaining 2008 meetings, please email alumni@unsw.edu.au or phone the Alumni Relations office on (02) 9385 3279.
The next lunch will be on Tuesday, 2 September 2008 from 11.30am in the Bromham Room, Goldstein Hall at UNSW.

Those who attended the second Pioneers' lunch for 2008 on Tuesday, 3 June, were fascinated by a talk "Sunswift and other adventures on and off the road: research and applications of silicon solar cells" presented by Yael Augarten, the retiring Project Leader of the UNSW Solar Racing Team, and Clara Mazzone who is succeeding her in that role.
The first lunch of the year was held on Tuesday, 4 March when the guest speaker, the Vice-Chancellor of UNSW, Professor Fred Hilmer AO, talked about "Strategic Directions for UNSW" before taking questions.
