Alumni leaders breakfast This breakfast event is organised once a year to thank a group of select alumni for their support and contribution to the aspirations of the campus. Together with President and Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Walker, they discussed continued efforts to make a meaningful impact on students and the region. Alumni in attendance included Leonard Ariff, Christopher Leong, Eugene Khoo, Professor Dato' Dr Mohammad Hassan, Dr SV Lingam, Wong Chin Aik, Dato' Jeffery Ng Tiong Lip, and Lim Huei Ying. 59 Careers in the arts and social sciences Monash Career Mentoring Program mentor workshop An interactive workshop was organised by alumni from the School of Arts and Social Sciences to share career advice with final-year students. Coming from diverse careers and industries, ranging from journalism to research and policy, our alumni enlightened students on various potential career pathways available to them after completing their undergraduate degree, and provided practical advice on how to get started on their careers. The Monash Career Mentoring Program, aimed at undergraduate students in their final year of study, connects students with experienced alumni. Alumni share advice, career journeys and industry insights on the students’ chosen careers as they transition from the university to the workplace. Mentors and student mentees are matched to the best possible fit based on their chosen careers, experience, interests and preferences. Fit and Fab Monash–Sunway Alumni Games Organised in celebration of International Women's Day and in line with Monash’s Respect Now Always campaign, Fit and Fab brought together alumnae for a morning of fitness and fun. Participants enjoyed a body circuit session led by alumna and celebrity fitness expert Linora Low, a yoga session, and a self-defense demonstration by the Monash Taekwondo Club. We organised our first joint sporting event with Sunway University where alumni from both universities entered friendly competitions in futsal and badminton. This follows badminton clinics and a mini badminton tournament earlier in the year where the Sunway Exchange Program extended an invitation to our alumni to compete in the men’s doubles category.
