The University of Western Australia was founded on the bold vision and generosity of Sir John Winthrop Hackett more than 100 years ago. Since then, many individuals and organisations have followed in his footsteps, all playing a crucial role in shaping UWA into the world-class institution it is today.
By investing in UWA, our benefactors have supported more than 100,000 graduates to believe in themselves and go out into local and global communities as leaders of positive change. They have fueled the drive and imagination of thousands of researchers and made UWA’s continued success possible. Their stories are inspiring and heart-warming.
In celebration of the outstanding contribution of the University’s significant donors, UWA launched its Benefactor Wall in 2015, located opposite the entrance to Winthrop Hall and under the arches of the Vice-Chancellery.
