CELEBRATING PROFESSOR DOROTHY HILL

Today, on the 112th anniversary of her birth, we recognise Professor Dorothy Hill’s many achievements. Professor Dorothy Hill was a pioneer of research, a leader for women in science, a woman of action, and one of The University of Queensland’s (UQ) most outstanding graduates and most distinguished scientists.
Dorothy Hill was a well-known figure at the University from the time she was 18 years old and beginning her degree until she retired, aged in her seventies. By then she had become a world-renowned professor.
Throughout her career, she led by example and inspired women to pursue science and a university education. Through her numerous achievements, she helped to advance the place of women in academia.
To learn more about life and legacy of Professor Hill (along with her many achievements), view The University of Queensland’s online exhibition which features documents from the Dorothy Hill Collection (UQFL25) at The University of Queensland Fryer Library. These materials record her life and successes in academia, and provide an insight into the type of person she was – quick-witted, interesting, and well-grounded.
Last year, Google honoured Dorothy Hill with a Google Doodle.
If you would like to meet inspiring women and men in Earth Sciences, register for the Dorothy Hill Women in Earth Sciences Symposium. There is a impressive line-up of speakers and the full program can be viewed from www.dorothyhillsymposium.com.au
