“I’m a student of life, a student for life,” says Dr Chris Taylor, a renewable energy expert and ANU graduate. Chris also has terminal bone cancer.

Chris has just completed a Master of Climate Change with ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, which happens to be his ninth tertiary qualification.

"If you’re not learning, you’re dying,” he says at a dedicated ceremony held by Crawford School recently to celebrate Chris' graduation.

Time may be running out for Chris, but that is not stopping him from working to leave a better world behind.

“Universities must not walk away from discomfort,” says newly appointed ANU Chancellor, Dr Gordon de Brouwer. "We must lean on the bits where our society has its frictions."
