Editor's letter
It seems everyone these days is required (or, at least, aspires), to be a leader.
But what is leadership, why do we need it and is it always demonstrated in the ways that we expect? How should the University of Melbourne, a ‘leading’ university embody and manifest leadership? How does the University encourage and support leadership in its students, alumni and staff? Are there areas in which the University has failed to take the lead where it arguably has an obligation to do so?
To find answers to these questions, the Melbourne University Magazine (MUM) working group adopted the theme of leadership for this year's magazine.
Your alumni community
In my three years as head of Alumni Relations a lot has changed for us, and I hope for you also. Our program content has expanded, becoming more integrated and focused on providing value to you as important members of the Melbourne community. Very happily, the number of alumni involved in programs increased to over 10 000 locally and internationally in 2010.
