University of Melbourne Events Calendar

This special event honours the extraordinary legacy of Margaret Williams-Weir: the first Indigenous person to attend an Australian university and a resident of University Women’s College.

The Oration will be delivered by Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous), Professor Barry Judd.

Professor Judd is passionate about working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to ensure the University cultivates a culture in which Indigenous knowledges, histories and perspectives are celebrated, and will speak  about the University’s progress in this space.

University of Melbourne staff, students and community are invited to join University College in celebrating Indigenous history and the significance of Margaret’s legacy in education and beyond.

Menopause is a natural stage in life and every woman’s experience is different. While it has long been a source of stigma, conversations about menopause are becoming more mainstream and the ‘hot flush gold rush’ has seen an increase in the number of products that claim to provide relief from symptoms. But what does the evidence actually say about living well during this transition?

Join the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences and the Royal Women’s Hospital for a panel event that will explore the latest research on menopause and help separate fact from fiction.
