University vice-chancellor Harlene Hayne and several former association presidents and other life members were among more than 30 people at the 11.30am ceremony at the University Union lawn. Association president Jack Manning welcomed participants, former president Paul Gourlie took a photo of the group, and academic John Broughton gave a Maori blessing. Retired university chaplain Rev Greg Hughson was among the many association life members attending. The gathering then moved to the nearby association rooms, where Mr Manning formally conferred life membership on Richard Good, and a birthday cake was cut.
