This year, the Alumni Awards will be announced and presented alongside our Annual Gala Dinner on Thursday 23 May – to be held for the first time in The Great Hall, The University of Sydney. We are proud to present Alumna and global FinTech leader, Loretta Joseph, as our guest speaker.
Loretta is the advisor and regulator for 27 governments (and counting) on blockchain, having written the technology’s first adopted legislation, with a focus on anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism. She works with world leaders, regulatory bodies, and sits on The Vatican’s Humanity 2.0 Papal Council to imagine and realise new solutions to poverty and all of its symptoms.
The Annual Gala Dinner and Alumni Awards will also mark the launch of our annual fundraising campaign through which we aim to raise $1m in long term funding of scholarships and bursaries for students who will otherwise be unable to pursue their dream of living and studying at The University of Sydney.
