This year more than 50 University staff experienced Monash from another perspective, thanks to the cross-campus mobility program and offers are now being made for 2009.

The Cross Campus Staff Mobility Program is offered to enhance inter-campus movement between Monash’s Australian, South African and Malaysian campuses, and the Monash Centre in Prato, with an emphasis on strengthening the quality, value and impact of academic outcomes.

In 2009 travel to identified key partner or internationally renowned institutions will also be considered. The Travelling Fellowship Award is open to professional staff and is aimed at enhancing opportunities for participation in professional development in Australia or overseas.

Mui Gee Na from Counselling Services at the Sunway campus was one of the 2008 Cross Campus participants, travelling to the University's Australian campuses.

"The Cross Campus program provides a valuable channel to share information and skills that can be applied at the campus one works at," Mui Gee Na said.

"The program instilled a sense of belonging to the University."

The Cross Campus Staff Mobility Program and Travelling Fellowship Award are funded by the Offices of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education), Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) and the Vice President (Administration).

Successful Cross Campus Staff Mobility applicants will receive funding up to $6000 and Travelling Fellowship Awards will receive funding up to $4000.

For more information about these programs, eligibility and selection criteria and details on how to apply, visit the Staff Mobility at Monash website.

Closing date for applications is Tuesday 6 January, 2009.
