Monash's marketers make their mark

14 December 2005

More than 30 of Monash's top marketing students have been recognised for their academic achievements at the 34th Annual Marketing Awards for Excellence.

Around 350 staff, students and industry professionals attended the event, held on Monday evening at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne.

A committee of final-year marketing students organised the evening as part of an internship unit in their degree, under the supervision of Department of Marketing lecturers Mr Brian Imrie and Professor Steve Worthington.

Mr Imrie said the organisation included planning, raising sponsorship money, managing finances, arranging publicity and maintaining the event's website.

"The winners received a trophy and an industry-sponsored cheque, and internships were available for selected undergraduate marketing students," he said.

"The event also provided students with valuable networking contacts, with industry leaders in attendance to head-hunt the year's most promising graduates."

Industry-sponsored unit and course awards were presented to outstanding students.

Among the winners were final-year marketing student Ms Kirsten Darbyshire, who received the $30,000 Sidwell Scholarship, and Ms Jennifer Elmer, who won the postgraduate course award for her efforts in the Master of Marketing.

GE Money sponsored the awards, with additional support provided by Coles Myer, National Foods, Danks, Toshiba, Dekro, Media Sales Cadetship, Mont Blanc, The Hour Glass, Pearson Education Australia, L'Oreal, Encore, Spinach, Roberts Research Group, Professional Sales Solutions, McGraw Hill, TNS, Libra, Marketing, Leading Solutions, Foster's Group, Southern Cross Computer Systems, Mars, Monash Print Services and Corporate Express.
