✍️ From a spark in 2004 to a creative friendship that’s still going strong - Susanne Gervay OAM and Dr Sharon Rundle are proof that UTS connections can shape not just careers, but lifelong friendships.

Susanne hosted the very first UTS Alumni Writers’ Network meeting in 2004, where Sharon was among the first members. Since then, the two have travelled, collaborated, and championed each other’s work across continents. 🌏

Last year, the UTS Alumni Writers’ Network celebrated its 20th anniversary - two decades of connecting, supporting, and celebrating writers from across the UTS community.
