reconnet: reconciliation email network Testimonial Dinner for Dr Bob Morgan Jumbunna, Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies Education and Research proudly announces the Testimonial Dinner in honour of Dr. Bob Morgan, Director, Jumbunna CAISER, University of Technology. Dr Bob Morgan, has a life time history of involvement and commitment to Aboriginal education. Recently, Dr. Morgan retired as Director of Jumbunna CAISER. In recognition of Dr Morgan's substantial commitment to Australian Indigenous Higher Education at UTS, and a lifetime commitment to Indigenous education, we would like to extend an invitation to community members to join Jumbunna staff, students and the University of Technology, Sydney in celebrating and honouring this commitment. Dr Morgan's involvement in indigenous education has spanned more than 25 years. In New South Wales Aboriginal education circles Dr Morgan is widely recognised as having championed the cause of Indigenous education at many levels. During his distinguished career Dr Morgan has held several key positions in New South Wales Aboriginal education. His involvement with the union movement, as well as positions held with the New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Groups (AECG), and as Chair of the World Indigenous Peoples' Conference in Education have earned him an international reputation as a formidable player in Australian Indigenous education. Twelve years ago Dr Morgan took up his recently vacated post with the University of Technology, Sydney, as Director of Jumbunna Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies Education and Research. He took the Centre from a mere handful of students to one of the more thriving and dynamic centres in Aboriginal higher education today with more than 300 students and boasting the highest indigenous graduation rate in the country. Throughout this time Dr Morgan has provided a challenging and visionary framework for self-determination in Aboriginal education. He has been a strong and consistent proponent of "cultural affirmation" in the curriculum and has fought hard and successfully for the delivery of culturally appropriate curriculum for Aboriginal people. The testimonial dinner will be held on Friday 31st March, at the University of Technology. Tickets are $25.00 and include a three-course meal and a variety of entertainers and special guests. Tickets are limited so get in early!
