The University of Adelaide celebrated academic excellence with six ACE students awarded the Raymond McMillan Scholarship in Civil Engineering.

Alice is passionate about increasing opportunities for women in STEM, and the exciting possibilities within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

In addition to the Raymond McMillan recipients, the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering would like to recognise William Smith, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Environment and Climate Solutions, for receiving the Don Alexander Scholarship in Water Engineering.
