TEDx at Monash
How we evolve, improve and develop
ourselves, our communities and our world
hinges on our ability to learn from successes
and failures. After a successful inaugural run
last year, TEDx Monash University Malaysia
returned with the new theme ‘Linking the
Dots’, featuring 13 Malaysian leaders from
various industries and backgrounds who
shared inspirational insights, experiences and
knowledge. Among them were School of
Business alumnus Alphaeus Tan; Dzameer
Dzulkifli, co-founder and managing director of
Teach for Malaysia; YB Lim Yi Wei, Kampung
Tunku state assemblywoman; and Nirmala
Devi Windgaetter, Secretary of Global Bersih.

Symposium Research week at the
Clinical School
This year’s International Conference
of Undergraduate Research, supported
by the Monash Warwick Alliance,
witnessed the participation of 345
undergraduate students from seven
universities across five continents.
Over the course of two days and
through video-conferencing technology,
19 of our students presented their
research to a live global audience. This symposium connected
researchers, academicians and
industrialists from around the world for
interdisciplinary discussion about
scientific issues. Participants had the
opportunity to present their studies,
explore their potential, exchange
inspiring ideas, and establish
professional relationships with other
universities and industrial sectors. The sixth Clinical School Johor Bahru
research week was held as a part of
our continued efforts to support
research activities in the clinical
campus. The event aimed to promote
research output and ideas among
medical students, and provided a
platform for the students to showcase
and critically discuss their research
projects.
Women Unlimited
Monash Women Engineers' first event gathered the women
engineers at Monash, both students and alumni, for an uplifting
evening. Participants heard from guest speaker Kamala Velautham
who discussed the challenges women face when working in this
male-dominated industry.
