The Kevin McDonald Chair of Environmental Inspiration

Named after: Kevin McDonald

Kevin McDonald's contribution over 20 years both to environmental studies and to the creation of our bushland campus, was appropriately recognised by the Board of Environmental Studies with a wood and iron park bench. "We decided to place it beside the path between the Chancellery and the Student Union because it seemed an ideal place for those of us who have enjoyed Kevin's guided walks and talks though the campus bushland," lecturer in environmental science, Phillip Geary said. To be known as the Kevin McDonaldChair pf Environmental Inspiration, it was dedicated to him by the Board in a short ceremony held during Environmental Week.

The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
