A message from the Vice-Chancellor and President

Professor Sharon Pickering 

Dear colleagues,

The Vice-Chancellor's Excellence Awards recognise and celebrate the exceptional work of our colleagues who have made outstanding contributions to the University over the past year, going above and beyond in their work and fostering collaboration across the Monash community.

Building on their excellence, we have elevated the 2025 awards to further align with Impact 2030 and leading industry awards.

There will be an awards ceremony on Tuesday 11 November that will honour and celebrate individuals and teams from our Australian and international campuses and locations across the following three streams:

  • Education Excellence Awards – recognising the contribution of Monash staff to quality student learning experiences and to Monash’s reputation for world-class university education.
  • Research and Enterprise Excellence Awards – showcasing the world-leading research undertaken at Monash and the change-making connections forged with communities, governments and industry.
  • Professional Excellence Awards – recognising and celebrating contributions of the Monash community across three categories.

If you know a colleague or team whose extraordinary efforts have significantly contributed to Monash this year, I encourage you to nominate them for an award. I’m looking forward to receiving your nominations and celebrating the exceptional work of our remarkable colleagues.

Regards,

Professor Sharon Pickering

Vice-Chancellor and President
