My deepest thanks

The pandemic has taken a heavy toll on UTS and its community, and we are not yet through it. To all of you who supported UTS initiatives in 2020, thank you!

Professor Attila Brungs

As I reflect on 2020, I’m overcome with gratitude for all UTS has accomplished in partnership with our community over the past year. It’s with our deepest thanks that we present this report, which is a profound demonstration of the real and lasting impact we’re making together.

From bushfires and floods to a worldwide pandemic, no one could have imagined the many difficulties we’d all face in 2020. And yet, in the most challenging of times, I was tremendously proud to witness the extraordinary spirit of generosity, kindness and resilience demonstrated by our community. 

To all of you who supported UTS initiatives in 2020, thank you!

Every donation whether great or small, and every gift of time and expertise, plays a vital role in delivering public good – not just for those who walk through our doors, but for all of society. 

I’d like to acknowledge some new donations received in 2020 from the Nancy and Vic Allen Stroke Prevention Fund, the Schwartz Foundation and the Neilson Foundation, for their support of innovative UTS research. You continue to play a critical role in helping us find solutions that will improve lives, advance knowledge and transform society. 

Every donation whether great or small, and every gift of time and expertise, plays a vital role in delivering public good.

I would also like to acknowledge some new and renewed support from donors: the Miklos Family, the Oranges & Sardines Foundation, Ajay Bhatia, Arsen Tomsky, The Earley and Mosakowski Family, Wilson Asset Management, Peter and Sharon Ivany, and Zeke Solomon. The breadth and depth of the impact you are enabling is nothing short of inspiring. 

The pandemic has taken a heavy toll on UTS and its community, and we are not yet through it. But, your incredible passion, drive and generosity gives me great confidence that we’ll continue to work together to benefit our students, deliver research with impact, and bring about real and lasting change. 

On behalf of everyone at UTS, please accept my sincerest thanks.
