College mourns alumna Katrina Dawson [1995-1998]

The Women’s College community mourns the loss of alumna Katrina DAWSON, at College 1995 to 1998, who died tragically in the Martin Place siege on Tuesday 16 December.

Katrina entered Sydney University and Women’s College to study Arts Law in 1995, excelling academically and leading the College as Senior Student in 1998.

Katrina’s family are closely connected to the Sydney University and College communities. Her mother, sculptor Jane Dawson [WATSON], is also an alumna. Our thoughts are with Katrina’s extended family and friends at this most difficult time.

A moving tribute by former Women’s College Principal and Governor-General of Australia, Quentin Bryce AD, CVO, has been published in the Sydney Morning Herald.
