Message from the Dean

Congratulations on becoming a graduate of Melbourne Business School in such historic and challenging times.

You have all shown remarkable resilience, tolerance and adaptability in completing Australia’s best and most challenging MBA, Master of Business Analytics, and Master of Marketing degrees, and their related programs, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am sure that the friendships and connections you have developed in your time with us, even under current circumstances, will make a difference to your success in the years ahead and remain with you for the rest of your lives and careers.

Success is never easy, but the sacrifices you have made to become graduates of our School will be rewarded by the new and exciting opportunities you have opened for yourselves.

The world is experiencing unprecedented change and needs leaders with the knowledge, attributes and connections like those you have gained at Melbourne Business School.

The uncertainty you will face in dealing with new responses to climate change, the challenge of meeting net zero emissions and developments in medicine, energy and transport, for example, will test you like no other generation of business leaders has been tested before.

But I am confident that the knowledge, tools and experiences that you have gained with your classmates at Melbourne Business School will turn these challenges into great opportunities.

You now have the ability to work with a wide range of people and opinions to identify and solve difficult problems. These are traits that the world needs more than ever.

You have also developed the ability to innovate, recognise fresh thinking and acknowledge other points of view, which will contribute to your continued success and that of the people around you and communities in which you will work.

Everyone at Melbourne Business School is proud to have helped you get this far, and we hope you will stay in touch and accept our best wishes and ongoing support.

Thank you for allowing us to boast that we are Australia’s best business school because of people like you, who come here to be the best and contribute to making a better world.

Please enjoy the further successes that await you and that you have worked so hard to achieve.

PROFESSOR IAN HARPER AO Dean, Melbourne Business School

A huge congratulations and it was great to be a part of your journey with your Corporate Strategy class. I want to remind you all how significant this milestone is. For me, an MBA completely changed the course of my career and life. You have just made a huge investment in your career and personal education which I am sure will deliver amazing outcomes. I look at past classes from 10 years ago or more and it is very rare that those MBS graduates are not now in extremely senior positions. You will achieve the same, you have all the ingredients in place. Please set really ambitious goals. Look for tailwinds in the industries you choose and try to find organisations that value you and that you can get passionate about. But please also take care of yourselves along the journey. Stay healthy and invest in the relationships that matter. We hope to keep you in our orbit, so please stay connected as valued members of our alumni community. With best wishes.

Congratulations my dear friends! What an accomplishment to finish the SEMBA. I absolutely relished our time together and feel so lucky that I had the chance to lead you through two subjects! I hope that once we are through lockdown that we can get together on a hike or dinner or something. Finally, take some time upon completion for yourself and to spend some good quality time your loved ones—well deserved! I wish you all the very best going forward.

It has been an enormous pleasure to be part of your MBS learning experience. We are all aware of the tremendous difficulties you encountered and the additional efforts you did to study in the middle of a pandemic. I want to express my congratulations to all of you for this memorable achievement. Thank you for your trust and please stay in touch with the school and its community.

A huge congratulations once more! It was a privilege to have been part of your journey. We kind of warmed up on Social Enterprise before getting stuck into Corporate Strategy. I have already said a lot to you all, but the parts I want to emphasize are (1) questioning whether your goals are ambitious enough, (2) planning to develop your own resilience, and (3) self-belief. All three are related. If you don’t set goals regarding the relationships you want to maintain and your general wellbeing, alongside ambitious career goals, you make yourself vulnerable. And have the self-belief that you can pull it all off. You have this amazing combination of talent, education, network and ambition that is rare – but doesn’t seem rare when you walk around MBS. What an incredible platform to use, as you decide what you want to achieve. Reflect on this wonderful achievement and please share it with the family or loved ones whose shoulders you stand on.
