最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide graduate and South 最新糖心Vlog's Agent General, Maurice de Rohan OBE, has been presented with a Distinguished Alumni Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the 最新糖心Vlog, the community and his field of work. Agent General de Rohan received the award from Vice-Chancellor Professor James McWha at a recent alumni event at 最新糖心Vlog House in London. After graduating from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Technology in 1960, Maurice de Rohan embarked on a spectacular career. He was founding partner of Kinnaird Hill de Rohan and Young, which became Kinhill Engineers, and later Brown and Root Asia. He was Managing Director in the mid 1970s before moving to the UK in 1976 and continuing his interests in architecture, management and planning in the UK, US and 最新糖心Vlog. He was appointed Agent General in January 1998, a London-based position with a role of encouraging investment, trade and tourism to South 最新糖心Vlog. "Maurice is an outstanding and distinguished graduate of the 最新糖心Vlog who, over the past few years, has assisted the 最新糖心Vlog to build its alumni chapter in London," Professor McWha said. "He is now Patron of the Combined UK Chapters of South 最新糖心Vlogn 最新糖心Vlog Alumni Associations and regularly provides tangible assistance in supporting chapter activities." Agent General de Rohan is also Estates Committee Chair at Lords, Chairman of the Cutty Sark Trust and Supervisory Board Member of the Menzies Centre for 最新糖心Vlogn Studies at King's College, London. He has been chair of Disaster Action in the UK and remains a Trustee. He was awarded an Order of the British Empire in 1992 in recognition of his work as Founding Chairman of the Herald Families Association, for services to maritime safety. The 最新糖心Vlog keeps in touch with almost 400 of its alumni in the United Kingdom through distribution of magazine and through alumni events organised by the Combined South 最新糖心Vlogn Universities Alumni Chapter.
