End of the year brings more reason to celebrate for the HDR and Honours students at the John Curtin Medical Research School (JCSMR) of ANU College of Health and Medicine. JCSMR hosted a graduation morning tea reception for the year-end graduates on 8 December which was participated by researchers, supervisors and colleagues.

Thirteen PhD and 26 Honours students completed their academic research and graduated from JCSMR this December 2023.

Professor Graham Mann, Director of JCSMR, who spoke at the event, appreciated the hard work of the students as well as supervisors for guiding them to achieve this accomplishment in their lives.

“I commend all students for their courage taking on these challenges. I also appreciate the supervisors, who had gone the extra mile to guide the students,” he said.

Associate Dean (HDR) of ANU College of Health and Medicine Associate Professor Anne Bruestle and JCSMR Honours Convenor Associate Professor Anselm Enders were also present.
