Message from the Chancellor
I warmly invite you to Town & Gown 2022, an evening of celebration and distinction. Hosted by Ray Martin and showcasing our prestigious Alumni Awards, we’ll celebrate the achievements of Western Sydney University.
For my final Town & Gown event as Chancellor, I hope to leave a legacy of ongoing change, by establishing a Refugee Scholarship Fund. This will be an endowed fund, ensuring that scholarships for refugee and asylum seeker students are offered in perpetuity.
I have had the privilege of witnessing first hand the immense contribution that refugees make when they get the support and encouragement they need.
By supporting this event, you will help refugees take back control of their lives and enrich the economic, social and cultural life of Australia. All of us will benefit.
I encourage you to join us for this important occasion.
Professor Peter Shergold AC, Chancellor
Western Sydney University

Western Sydney University
Western Sydney University is recognised as the leading advocate for the Western Sydney region and as a dynamic and young global university.
As the most culturally diverse university in Australia, Western Sydney University has over 170 cultural and ethnic groups represented across our community. We are committed to providing access to education for those whose journey is not traditional.
The theme for Town & Gown 2022 is refugee scholarships. A dedicated fund will be established, which over time will provide scholarships to some of our most deserving and impressive students.
Town & Gown 2022 is an opportunity to come together, after a period of disruption and uncertainty caused by the global pandemic. We invite you to join us as we celebrate the diversity, innovation and leadership that our community has shown through this difficult time.
This is a particularly special event as it will be the final Town & Gown gala dinner attended by Professor Peter Shergold AC in his role as Chancellor of the University.
Please consider becoming a sponsor for Town & Gown 2022.
