We invite everyone to ring in the holiday season at the Victoria College Graduates Holiday Lecture!
This year’s special guest is Dr. Jill Heinerth, our newest Honorary Degree recipient! Dr. Heinerth, upon whom Victoria University conferred an Honorary Doctorate at the Charter Day Convocation in October 2023, will give an exciting presentation on the art and science of cave diving!
The Fine Art and Science of Cave Diving
Dr. Jill Heinerth has blazed a trail into the planet, exploring lava tubes beneath the seafloor, submerged caves inside icebergs, and the deepest recesses of the world’s oceans. Heinerth’s dynamic presentations inspire audiences to reach beyond their limitations, challenge the unknown, and overcome fears. She shares remarkable experiences and lessons learned in the deadly arena of extreme underwater exploration and adventure filmmaking, applying her practical knowledge to share lessons on risk management, discovery learning, and collaboration.
