Mrs Elizabeth Price returned to Burgmann College with family members for the opening of the Charles and Elizabeth Price Garden in the lower section of the Postgraduate Village.
The garden recognises the contribution made by Dr Charles Price and Elizabeth in the early planning, founding and governance of the College. Dr Price was conferred as an Honorary Fellow of Burgmann College in 2008.
The Burgmann-Price bequest funds a Scholar from a migrant family to Burgmann from year to year.
The 2013 Burgmann-Price Scholar, Karan Dhamija responded to both the Principal and Mrs Price with a dedicated vote of thanks for the additional beauty that the garden brings to the "College Street”.
The Price Garden was completed by the College's Maintenance team led by Manager Buildings and Grounds, Andrew McCormack. Andrew said "it is a lovely space for all members of the College. We are now focused on maintaining the garden for the enjoyment of the entire Burgmann Community".
The opening was followed by lunch in Le Chat Noir.
