EMMEKE KUIJPERS MEMORIAL APPEAL

A brilliant social scientist, a caring, generous and beautiful soul.

Western Sydney University joins her colleagues, partner, family and friends in mourning the loss of Emmeke Kuijpers, Western graduate and humanitarian. Emmeke sadly passed away in December 2021 after a courageous battle with breast cancer.

In honour of Emmeke, the University plans to establish the Emmeke Kuijpers Scholarship Fund. This fund will support scholarships and/or academic prizes for students at the Schools of Social Science and Law at Western Sydney University. The goal is for this fund to reach $125,000 which will allow for an annual scholarship to be offered in Emmeke's name in perpetuity.
