On July 28, Monash University staff, students, and alumni are taking part in Run Melbourne to raise $100,000 for Asylum Seeker Scholarships. Through the generosity of staff, students, and alumni, over $50,000 was raised last year – enough to cover over a year of an asylum seeker’s education at Monash! But there is still work to be done to provide more education opportunities. Get involved in any way you can through a donation or by taking part in the run.

Members of the Alumni Engagement team are planning visits to China this year. In our efforts to grow a rich and vibrant alumni community there, we would like to ask for your help to find Monash alumni living in China. We aim to connect with former students who have moved back to China and also help alumni to exchange information, access professional development opportunities and connect with each other. We invite you to share the campaign link at the bottom of this post with Monash classmates and other alumni you know who are living and working in China. Please ask them to quote your name in the "referred by" field near the end of the form. Each month an Apple Airpod will be awarded to the alum who has referred the highest number of Monash alumni, and runners up will receive a popular Monash hoodie. We look forward to building new alumni to alumni relationships in China, and between our alumni communities in Australia and Asia. Thank you in advance for your help in connecting us. https://www.wenjuan.com/s/EVjeArd/ #networking #volunteering #partnerships #China
