You are invited to celebrate Uni Adelaide Giving Day on Thursday 5 September, 1-4pm! The day will be a combined celebration of Peter & Matilda Waite‘s generous bequest that gave us the Waite Campus and Urrbrae House as well as the annual celebration of Giving. We will be celebrating with food, beverages, tours, and the return of the prestigious Bocce Tournament!
