Associate Howitt and Rice
The Australian National University (ANU) Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington today announced the appointment of three fellows to mentor the Tuckwell Scholars when the first cohort arrive in 2014. The Tuckwell Scholarship Program was established by ANU alumnus Graham Tuckwell and his wife Louise in February to support 25 undergraduate students each year for the length of an undergraduate degree. Their $50 million gift to the University was the largest ever donation to an Australian university by an Australian citizen. Professor Hughes-Warrington said the University received an outstanding response to the call for Fellows. "The committee congratulates all Colleges for the outstanding applications put forward, and looks forward to working with the Fellows," she said. Human rights law expert Professor Simon Rice, biochemist Associate Professor Susan Howitt and historian of Southeast Asia Dr Mary Kilcline Cody have been chosen to lead the inaugural cohort of undergraduate Scholars drawn from schools across Australia. The Fellows will provide Scholars with advice and support, and play an active role in coordinating social events and seminars to bring the Tuckwell Scholar community together.
