A Monash Master of Business turned Helena Chen's interest in corporate social responsibility into a passion.
Today, thanks also to the Green Steps Program, she has the skills and knowledge to show companies the way towards a more sustainable future.
Making full use of a Victorian Government scholarship for Women in Freight, Logistics and Marine, she chose to study a Master of Environment and Sustainability.
She also joined the University's Senior Management Team (Environment), helping to position Monash as a leader among Australian universities in environmental awareness.
When Addie Wootten came to Monash, she realised how big a difference she could make to those affected by prostate cancer. With the guidence of an inspiring doctoral supervisor, and the experience gained through various placements, internships, conferences and hours of discussion with doctors and nurses, Addie found her calling.
Today she is one of Australia'a leading psychologists working to support men with prostate cancer.
For Cambridge graduate Michael Chin, a return to study as a Monash University student was as much about extending his passion for social justice as it was about advancing professionally. Michael, currently undertaking the Doctor of Jurisprudence/Master of Laws, chose the Monash Law School for its global reputation - a reputation he's only adding to.
As the recipient of the prestigious 2012 Prime Minister's Australia-Asia Award, he has had the chance to pursue study at Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Ko Guan Law School (in China). With a decorated career behind him, Michael still considers the Award to be a turning point in his life and hopes it will allow him to make an even bigger difference in Australia and throughout Asia.
