The Jan Lee Latin Award was established in 2022 by her daughter Phoebe Jane Gunn by a generous donation of $20,000 to the University to commemorate her mother Janice Maree Lee (1945 - 2021) BA (Hons) 1967, LLB 1992, M Phil 2018. Jan was actively involved with the Australian Education Union SA Branch (previously the South Australian Institute of Teachers) and was a lifelong learner.
