Students embrace leadership roles12 November 2008
Forty undergraduate students from Monash's Australian campuses will join the Vice-Chancellor's Ancora Imparo Student Leadership Program in 2009. The Ancora Imparo Program has been designed to help passionate and idealistic students prepare for future leadership roles. The successful applicants, from each of the University's 10 faculties, will take part in a year-long program during their second year of study that includes a three-day residential course and monthly seminars. During 2008, students in the program heard from speakers such as former Victorian Premier and current chair of beyondblue Jeff Kennett, Federal Member for Maribyrnong Bill Shorten, and Victorian County Court judge Felicity Hampel. This year's students have had the opportunity to attend the 2020 Youth summit, the 2020 Summit and the Futures Summit. Participants have also been invited to speak at various Monash engagements including the Student Experience Network meeting and the Year 12 Leadership day. In 2009 students will undertake a three-day residential seminar at Phillip Island, followed by eight evening forums at the Monash Caulfield campus, where they will hear from prestigious speakers including Artistic Director of the Melbourne Theatre Company Simon Philips, highly-acclaimed Monash staff members Professor Dave Griggs from the Monash Sustainability Institute and Associate Professor Mark Baker from the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation, and alumnus Hugh Evans. The students will also be given the opportunity to present to senior staff and participate in a number of national events.
