  8. On behalf of Deakin University and the University Services portfolio our condolences are sent to Sandra’s family. Sandra had a distinguished career at Deakin, supporting students and staff. She has been part of the Deakin family for more than two decades in our finance and insurance teams. Sandra’s strong work effort, her willingness to help others, her positive can-do attitude and sense of humour were loved and appreciated by all those with whom she worked. During Covid she reached out to help others in a time of uncertainty , and her role as Insurance officer has seen her support thousands of our students as they travel abroad. Sandra will be dearly missed but forever in our hearts.
