I am very pleased to share the excitement of this day with you and with the people who

Yours is an important graduation ceremony and we are celebrating your success along with
our own. We have come a long way since 1991 when we amalgamated colleges of advanced
education and institutes of technology to become the University of South Australia. Now
we’re considered one of the world’s best young universities – Australia’s University of
Enterprise – putting our best teaching and research into creating bright futures for our
students and partnering with industry and the professions to bring the benefits of that
teaching and research to our community.
I hope the achievement you celebrate today opens many doors of opportunities for you so
that you can make your mark as a global citizen, a professional in everything you do.
You, like more than 200,000 graduates who have preceded you, are very important to
us; you are our success stories, the role models for current students and those who might
follow in your footsteps. As your career grows and your success is assured, current students

centre, lap pool, gym, dance/aerobics studio function
rooms and facilities to seat 1900 students and their
families for graduation ceremonies. The building is named
for its benefactor, Andrew Pridham, an alumnus of the
University who gave $5 million towards its completion.
