Vice Chancellor Professor Eeva Leinonen and the Office of Alumni Relations invite you to celebrate the 41st Anniversary of Murdoch University’s first intake of students in 1975 and the 142nd birthday of the University’s namesake, Sir Walter Murdoch.

The inauguration of Murdoch University on 17 of September 1974, coinciding with the 100th birthday of Sir Walter Murdoch, was marked by setting in place a central survey mark in a disc of granite from Pitsligo, Scotland - the birthplace of Sir Walter.
