2024
Celebrating our talented educators, researchers, students and alumni.
Messages from two of Monash Business School's senior leaders
Professor Michelle Welsh, Senior Deputy Dean (Faculty Operations)
The work of countless powerful women has paved the challenging path to gender equality - work which I am proud, alongside my colleagues, to continue today and into the future. We know when women are invested in, it really does accelerate progress. But there is still a long way to go.
Professor Carla Wilkin, Acting Deputy Dean (Leadership and Executive Education)
Diversity thrives when we celebrate the varied paths individuals choose to take. As a woman who has consistently found myself on the road less travelled, I understand the importance of creating an environment where all can flourish.
