Vice Chancellor's column

Ancora Imparo
In this month's Ancora Imparo, Vice-Chancellor Richard Larkins discusses the impact of the bushfires upon the large Monash community. One staff member and one student lost their lives, others lost friends and relatives. But Monash performed its hosting duties well in Gippsland, and we saw our pioneering work in Indonesia rewarded with a return visit of Indonesian experts on disaster victim identification.
