Clementine Fox (2007) was one of 40 participants in the interdisciplinary ‘International Space University Southern Hemisphere Summer Space Program’ held at the University of South Australia. She was only one of four females and the only participant from a Humanities-Law background. The participants and lecturers came from all over the world, and the subjects they covered crossed science, history, philosophy and more. One very exciting celebrity lecturer was Andy Thomas, Australian born astronaut now working at NASA. Shaneen Leishman (2001) completed her Doctorate in Philosophy with her Thesis on ‘The Oral Systemic Connection: Inflammation, Immunity and Atherosclerosis’. Amy Burkett (2008) graduated from NIDA with a Bachelor of Dramatic Art (Production). Lauren McComb (2012) when graduating noted her goal was to ‘secure a role at one of the mines (either in a kitchen or driving one of the huge dump trucks), make and save lots of money and start her own business’. Well Lauren has done just that – landing at a mine driving large trucks and is well on her way to developing her nest egg. Tara Schultz (2007) has accepted a Federal Agent position with the Australian Federal Police, after graduating from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws with Honours.
