3rd Edition November 2014

50th Anniversary: Connecting our alumni locally and globally

Welcome to the third edition of The Monash Law e-Briefing, in what continues to be a celebratory and eventful year for the Law Faculty community.

We’ve now had four 50th anniversary celebrations globally, our Gala Dinner in Melbourne and alumni dinners in Hong Kong, London and Singapore.

We are also planning for a celebration in Malaysia before the end of 2014.

In September we held a dinner in London with a number of Law alumni currently working or completing postgraduate studies in the UK.

Guests were very appreciative of being able to attend this alumni dinner in London and help the Faculty celebrate this significant anniversary. They recognise the value of being part of the Faculty’s growing global presence and network.

We also held a Law alumni dinner in Singapore in October. Guests thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce and benefit from each other’s diverse industry knowledge and experience. The enriching discussion exemplified the broad and valuable skill set of Monash Law graduates.

In addition to celebrating the Faculty’s 50th anniversary, these dinners have been great opportunities for our international Law alumni to connect and engage with each other and the Faculty.

Our recent initiatives including the Faculty’s new partnership arrangements with Oxford, Cambridge and King’s College London aim to build upon and strengthen our global reach and community. So too do the new Hong Kong student scholarship and internship initiatives launched by our Hong Kong alumni advisory chapter at their 50th anniversary celebration earlier this year.

It has been exciting to hear from alumni around the world about their successes and contributions to a diverse range of sectors including legal, corporate, academic, government and community.

We are committed and working hard to create more opportunities for alumni to engage and connect locally and globally.

We encourage you to visit the alumni section of our website where you can find out how to become more involved and engaged with the Faculty and also read about alumni achievements, privileges and benefits.
