The Vice-Chancellor’s Ancora Imparo Student Leadership Program
The Vice-Chancellor recently sent an email to all first year students inviting them to apply for the Vice-Chancellor's Ancora Imparo Student Leadership Program. The email message was:
Dear student,
Applications for positions in the Vice Chancellor's 2013 Ancora Imparo Student Leadership Program will open on Tuesday 8th May 2012. The Ancora Imparo Program is a flagship program of the University. We are seeking applications from first year Monash undergraduate students from a diverse range of backgrounds, interests and courses to participate in the program in the second year of their studies. Forty students will be selected to join the program which will commence in mid-February 2013.
Leadership training helps to unlock your potential - enhancing your ability to make an impact on your peers and on the world.
Participants are given the opportunity to meet and hear from some of the nation's most inspired leaders, with backgrounds ranging from politics to business, arts and the law. To illustrate, speakers for this year's Program include Christine Nixon APM, Julian Burnside QC, Bernard Salt, and The Hon. John Brumby.
Students selected for the program participate in a fully-funded three-day residential workshop which is also attended by senior University staff and key speakers drawn from across Australia. This is followed by eight evening forums held on Tuesday nights, during which students hear outstanding speakers tackle a range of contemporary leadership issues. Small group presentations will also be made on a range of stimulating topics by student participants, following which you will have the opportunity to contribute by way of debate and discussion.
As a member of this unique program, you will have the opportunity to engage in a number of events usually open only to Senior Monash Staff, including attendance at leadership summits and leadership lunches.
Successful applicants are provided with a small stipend in recognition of being awarded a position in the program. There are no exams or assignments to complete.
