Nominate a trailblazing woman for the ANU building renaming project

We're fortunate to have many remarkable and legacy-building women among us, both past and present. However, out of 150 buildings at our university, only five bear women's names. It's time to change that, and we need your help to make it happen.


Nominations are now open for exceptional female-identifying graduates, former staff, or individuals who have made outstanding achievements and contributions to our university's development. Please fill out the attached Proposed Honorific Naming form. Nominations will close in early June.

With your nominations and input from the ANU community, an honorary committee will select the names of eight women to be put forward to the ANU Council for consideration and approval.

Stay tuned as we share more about these remarkable women, their legacies and the dedicated buildings that will honour them. This journey will culminate in celebrating all eight honourees as part of our International Women's Day festivities in 2025.
