| Professor Arie Freiberg |
Monash University congratulates its alumni, staff, former staff and supporters who received Queen's Birthday honours in 2009.
Members of the Monash community were recognised for their contributions to fields including education, law, medicine, the environment and the community.
Among those honoured were alumnus and Dean of the Faculty of Law Professor Arie Freiberg. Professor Freiberg becomes a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his service to law, criminology, sentencing reform, legal education and academic leadership.
"It's a great honour to be recognised by one's community for one's work, especially in an area as sensitive, emotive and controversial as sentencing, where I hope I have been able to inject some reason into the debate," Professor Freiberg said.
“It is also pleasing to be recognised for my contribution to legal education in law and criminology. It has been a pleasure engaging with, and possibly influencing, young minds for over three decades at both Monash and the University of Melbourne."
Head of the Central Clinical School in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Professor Napier Thomson received an AM for his services to medicine, research, medical education and professional associations.
Alumna Dr Margaret Batten was honoured with an AM for her service to education as a researcher and through a range of professional associations.
