 World Pride Group: Part of Rhea Liang’s success story
Kia ora koutou katoa,
Welcome to the April/May edition of our newsletter, where we honour our alumni’s remarkable achievements in the health sector, celebrate the recent reunions of our esteemed graduates, and anticipate upcoming gatherings and fantastic webinars designed for our alumni community.
This issue highlights the diverse and significant ways our graduates impact the health field – both within our local communities and worldwide. We share stories of resilience, innovation, and compassion, from Minnie Baragwanath’s dedication to inclusivity to Associate Professor Rhea Liang’s global pursuit of social justice and Georgia Scott’s passionate neurodiversity advocacy. We also spotlight Aaron Yan’s unwavering support for international student welfare and Campbell Thompson’s noble choice to carry on his parents’ healthcare legacy.
These narratives inspire and demonstrate our profound influence in shaping a healthier, more understanding world.
Ngā mihi nui,
Alumni Relations Team
