Donor: O'Byrne Family

"My daughters Rachael and Rebecca O'Byrne, chose Murdoch University to undertake their studies and each of them excelled in their chosen area of study.
I contribute to Murdoch because both of my daughters enjoyed the benefit from the generosity of previous award donors. I was so proud of my daughters for being recognised for their commitment to their studies that I wanted to reward other students who were committed to their studies in the same way the my girls were."
