LH Martin Institute community news


 

Vale Emeritus Professor John Hay AC (21 September 1942 - 3 November 2016)

Earlier this month we lost a colleague and an early champion of the LH Martin Institute, Emeritus Professor John Hay AC. John played a key role in the establishment of the Institute and was Chair of our Advisory Board from inauguration in 2007 to 2012. The Institute benefited greatly from his leadership experience, vision and wise council during its formative years. John, and his patronage, will be sorely missed.
