The medals are one of the ways in which the university recognises professional services, academic staff, or students who have made outstanding contributions to the University and wider communities.

Ms Jack was recognised for her committed advocacy on behalf of marginalised and under-represented students. She was also commended for her extensive knowledge and insight that has impacted policy, practice, and procedural developments within the school, university, other institutions, and the legal profession at large.

She said: “I am thrilled to be one of the 2023 recipients of the Principal’s Medal. Winning this prestigious award is of great significance for me personally but also more broadly for the university in its recognition and reward of this type of work, which has an increasingly important place in the higher education landscape.”
