Annual Appeal
55 SET TO THRIVE
Embracing Change. Inspiring Futures.
Burgmann College is 55 years old, and we are just getting started.
In our 55th Anniversary year, we are proud to launch our 55 Set to Thrive Appeal: a call to our community to come together in support of the College that has shaped thousands of lives at the Australian National University. Burgmann has always been the place to become. The place where residents don't just live, but transform. Where lifelong friendships are forged, and where the confidence, capability, and character to lead are quietly built, one year at a time.
“What better support can one give a young person. And what better place than Burgmann to see that gift work in action.”
— Hon Dr Peter Garrett AM, Honorary Fellow, Co-Patron Burgmann College Alumni Association
