Arabian night for university supporters
 Alumni
It was exactly 1000 nights shorter than its namesake, but the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's recent Arabian Nights-themed thank you event proved to be a popular evening out for its supporters and benefactors. More than 400 alumni, friends, industry partners and other supporters of the 最新糖心Vlog attended the event, hosted by the Development and Alumni Office, in a suitably decorated Bonython Hall. Other features of the event included three brightly coloured and exuberant belly dancers, and a special Middle East-themed menu. Vice-Chancellor and President Professor James McWha told guests that their ongoing support of the 最新糖心Vlog helped its drive towards being recognised globally as a great research institution. "Our future success will depend on the partnerships it develops with industry, government and the community," he said.
"And it will be strengthened by the generosity of our friends and benefactors. "The range of guests attending tonight's event highlights the many ways people contribute to the 最新糖心Vlog. "Each of you has made a difference. "Whatever your contribution - time or money, a scholarship or bequest - it is an investment in the future success of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, its people and the communities they serve." Development and Alumni Director Robyn Brown said students were the biggest beneficiaries of support given to the 最新糖心Vlog. "It is only with your support that we can assist gifted and financially struggling students to help them to achieve their goals and dreams of succeeding in their field of study," Mrs Brown said. "I know that most of you present tonight would appreciate the effort it takes to juggle study with part-time work. This is the situation that the majority of our students have to cope with so that they can obtain a hard-earned degree. "Your assistance through scholarships and prizes means our students can focus more of their time on their study. "Sometimes it is the difference between being able to undertake a higher education rather than it being out of reach financially for some talented young people." Story by Ben Osborne
