31 May 2022 – Sue Salthouse AM’s tireless work further acknowledged through awarding of Honorary Doctorate by University of Canberra
We were delighted to be able to attend a ceremony at the University of Canberra on Wednesday 25 May, where Sue was posthumously awarded an honorary doctorate in recognition of her many contributions. The award was received by Sue’s daughter Luisa Fearnside. This is the first honorary doctorate conferred posthumously in the University’s 32-year history, and is further to Sue’s being awarded as a Member in the general division of the Order of Australia earlier this year. As the University noted, Sue’s life was one of dedication, service and commitment to others , whether by supporting individuals through difficult times, mentoring young and emerging leaders or by working for systemic change at local, national and international levels to promote and advance the rights and freedoms of women with disabilities.
