If you listen to one #podcast today, make it this one: the story of @victoriauninews IT graduate, Anesu Masocha. Originally from Zimbabwe, Anesu came to Melbourne in 2013 to study with us. However, his path took an unexpected turn soon after arriving.🎙️people-of-vu.zencast.website

Join me on a journey through the last fifty years of Indigenous political history with the incomparable Professor Gary Foley – in the latest People of VU episode. Listen to Part One here people-of-vu.zencast.website/episodes/prof-… or on all good podcast platforms.

This morning, we had an outstanding Town Hall – showcasing the incredible researchers and research at VU. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Every year there is a debate about ATARs – and every year, I emphasise this: an ATAR does not define who you are or what you can achieve. Great discussion with @RichelleHunt, Meredith and @abcmelbourne listeners this morning on The Conversation Hour: abc.net.au/listen/program…

About to go live on @abcmelbourne with @RichelleHunt and @victoriauninews student Meredith Hunt to talk about why someone’s ATAR does not, in itself, reflect their full potential. There is so much more beyond the ATAR. Listen here: abc.net.au/listen/live/me…

In this week's live-audience episode of #PeopleofVU, I had a very important conversation with Patty Kinnersly, the CEO of @OurWatchAus. We explored the crucial need to speak up, act, and reform – and the profound impact of spheres of influence. #16DayofActivism @victoriauninews
