Giving to Burgmann
From the 1980s, for the Next Generation
We're excited to announce a new 1980s Giving Circle, created to establish a full-fee Scholarship at Burgmann, commencing in 2027. Led by alumni Chris van Aanholt (1983-1985) and Andrew Post (1984-1986), this Giving Circle invites 1980s alumni to make a lasting difference by giving together. Having studied and lived at Burgmann when university was far less costly, Chris and Andrew invite you to join them in giving a regional student who could not otherwise afford it the chance to live and learn at Burgmann.

55th Anniversary Back-to-Burg Weekend
The 55th Anniversary Back-to-Burg Weekend on 19–20 September was a joyful occasion, bringing together alumni, friends, and residents across generations. It was particularly special to welcome back those who had not returned in many years, and to witness the warmth of reunions between people who had not crossed paths since their Burgmann days.

Bill Ranken and the Gift of Opportunity
Fifty years ago, Bill Ranken asked his mother Margaret Ranken if she would make a significant donation to Burgmann College and Margaret kindly agreed, making a generous Gift to name Bill’s room in the Barassi Wing. Today, Bill reflects on her generosity, his transformative experience at Burgmann, and why he believes young people should have the same opportunity, regardless of what they can afford.
