We were there
We look back on the key historical moments from the University and city of Newcastle through the eyes of our alumni.
From welcoming the first cohort of University students in 1963, to Martin Luther King Jr's honorary degree in 1967 and the first ever Great North Run in 1981, our alumni community has witnessed monumental changes to the University and the city of Newcastle over the past six decades.
