About Sally Mackey

On 30 September 2023 Central held a Celebration of the Teaching, Education and Applied Theatre courses, welcoming back graduates dating back to 1962. Many graduates donated to the Sally Mackey Bursary Fund at that time and, on her retirement, Professor Mackey encouraged staff and friends to make a contribution to the Fund instead of a leaving present. For more information on donating to the Fund and the list of supporters, see Sally Mackey Bursary Fund.
