Alumni Reunion Photographs
Introduction
On Friday 1st March 2002 the Gippsland
Campus of Monash University held reunion celebrations to mark its
origin and development as a tertiary education institution. Part
of the celebrations involved faculty and School reunion functions.
The School of Applied Media & Social Sciences held
its celebrations between 4.30pm and 6pm in Room 1N206/207 and Room

(a) The Past (Reflections by former staff, current staff and
alumni.)
(b) The Present (Displays of current work by
the various discipline areas.)
(c) The Future (An address
by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof. Homer Le Grand.)
The School Reunion program was organised by Keith Wilson and
