The late Clive Roger Hele Brookes was a Life Member of The Graduate Union. He joined after graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce (Economics) degree from The University of Melbourne in 1955. Roger always felt very strongly that The Graduate Union — through, particularly, residency in Graduate House — has an important role to play in bringing together people from across the globe, not only to develop business networks and provide opportunities but also to learn models of working together for the world’s benefit. Roger was a major donor of The Graduate Union, giving generously to support the needs of college residency. "With college life you form a very close association with a number of individuals, and you particularly recognise the worth of students in other faculties." It is indeed an honour to have Mr Brookes as a ‘lead’ and ‘leading’ donor. True to his family’s legacy, Roger has set an example which will inspire and guide others to support us.

Australasian Course in Advanced Neuroscience (ACAN) held an intensive three week course at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health and The University of Melbourne in October. During the duration of the course, the group booked the Graduate House meeting rooms and accommodation rooms for their delegates. A total of 42 rooms were booked and the delegates arrived on Sunday, 9th October and enjoyed a Welcome BBQ at the Graduate House courtyard. About the ACAN course: The course teaches both advanced theory and handson-practice of latest neuroscience techniques and is designed to give students the skills to design and implement state-of-the-art experimental techniques in neuroscience. The Australasian and International faculty guided each participant in the latest research methods in cellular and systems neuroscience. The course was structured into three weeks with each supporting distinct but interrelated themes. To learn more about the ACAN course, go to: https://ans.org.au/acan/
