Julia Gillard Instagram – Did you know only five of 242 buildings at Australian National University are named after women?
In response to this, ANU has introduced a Building Renaming Project to see more buildings honouring women who have significantly contributed to ANU, just like Pauline Griffin.
I was thrilled to open the new Pauline Griffin Health & Wellbeing Centre in honour of the former ANU Pro Chancellor and Commissioner of the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission.
At nearly 99 years old, Pauline was too frail to travel to Canberra for the opening, but I was delighted to meet some of her loved ones who made the journey.
Throughout her career, Pauline has been a leader – often in male-dominated fields – and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her relatives about her passion for education and advocacy, and her pioneering work that’s had a lasting impact on the campus and the wider ANU community. | Posted on 12/Nov/2024 04:37:16
