Students celebrated at Dean’s Excellence Awards

The Dean's Excellence Awards is an annual event that shines a spotlight on the remarkable accomplishments of students within the Macquarie Business School. It is also a moment to express our gratitude to the generous prize donors and industry partners who have been instrumental in supporting our students' journey towards success.  

This year’s theme was 'supporting together is succeeding together', which emphasised the importance of seeking help and acknowledging that success is a result of support.

Speaking at the event, Professor Eric Knight said, "Today’s really important to celebrate the achievement of students because when they have achieved incredible success, as they have today, it’s nice to be able to show gratitude and thanks, and to be able to celebrate what makes Macquarie Business School special.”

We were thrilled to have Robyn Denholm, the Chair of the Board of Directors of Tesla and the Tech Council of Australia, as our keynote speaker. Robyn is a trailblazing global technology executive, and her presence added an extra layer of inspiration to our celebration of academic excellence. Robyn spoke about Australia's potential to build the next generation of economic prosperity, leveraging both our natural abilities and resources. Her insights shed light on the importance of aiming high and thinking long-term. And she congratulated Macquarie Business School for pushing the curriculum and focus towards the tech/business interface, with strength in sustainability. Robyn reinforced our belief in building a prosperous and competitive Australia for future generations.

Congratulations to all our award winners and we wish you all the best for your future endeavours.
