The Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics Annual Dinner 2012

The 2012 Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics Annual Dinner and the 2012 Alumni of Distinction Awards will be held on 15 March 2012. The guest speaker for this occasion will be distinguished alumnus Rod Sims (BCom Hons 1973), Chair, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

 

The University of Melbournes Faculty of Business and Economics is a leading centre of education, research and innovation. This is proven by our consistent performance in international rankings and the professional standing and accreditation of our courses. Our world leading research and teaching attracts the best and brightest of students and makes us one of the world's most preferred institutions amongst employers.

The aim of the Foundation is to secure a strong endowment which will support the Facultys ambition to build its national and international standing as one of the worlds leading schools of business and economics. Support will enable us to fulfill our commitment to widen participation, enhance the university experience of our students and make possible a research agenda which seeks to address issues facing our world. The 2011 Dinner contributed $500,000 to the Foundation and has enabled us to make strong progress, but the need for continued participation and philanthropic support from our alumni at all levels is undiminished. 

A strong show of support from our alumni community will reinforce the message that Australias future depends on world class educational opportunities and highly skilled individuals.

 

In recognition of the exceptional contributions made by alumni, the 2012 Alumni of Distinction Awards will again be made at the Foundation Dinner. The Awards recognise the achievements and services of Australian and international alumni of the Faculty of Business and Economics.

This is a reminder that nominations for 2012 Alumni of Distinction Award candidates will close on Sunday 15 January 2012 and so we encourage you to get your nomination in before Christmas. All alumni of the Faculty of Business and Economics are eligible to put forward a nomination.

 

The awards are a celebration of the significant contributions made by members of the Facultys alumni community to industry, government, academia and their communities. They are an important statement to our current students of the possibilities and opportunities that await them after graduation.
