3 A Message f rom the Chancellor As Chancellor of Victoria University (VU) I take pride in seeing first-hand the success of our students, the real world impact of our researchers and the contribution we make to the community. I am constantly impressed by our many achievements and the outstanding qualities of both our students and staff. However, I can honestly say that nothing gives me more pleasure than presiding at our Graduation Ceremonies. I believe that these ceremonies truly reflect the special nature of our University. Each one is a celebration of an individual student'

s achievement, an acknowledgement of their determination and will to succeed. It is also the occasion when family and friends can be justifiably proud and they can also be thanked for their support. Our ceremonies are warm and spontaneous and they highlight the rich and genuine diversity of our University. As with all things at VU we have our own way of doing things and those outside the VU community who attend our ceremonies never fail to comment on what an uplifting experience it is. So do enjoy your Graduation Day. Reflect on all that you have accomplished so far and on the many experiences still to come. Take a moment to think about what your time at VU has meant to you. Give some thought to staying connected through our extensive Alumni network because you are now a VU alumni. You are now a member of our community and, as with all our students you will always be important to us. Congratulations. Mr George Pappas AO Chancellor
