Celebrating the exceptional work of Deakin Business School Students

The Academic Excellence Awards recognise the high achievements of students across Deakin Business School. Since we cannot join together to celebrate, we're marking this occasion online.

Congratulations to our recently awarded students within the Deakin Business School. Your efforts as a Deakin student have prepared you very well for the future as you all go forward into a rapidly changing world of work. We know that the links between business and academe are increasingly important as we prepare for the lives and careers in a complex and often ambiguous future.
I wish to also give great thanks to our partners that give us the capacity to do so much. 
By collaborating in our research, through the professional input into our teaching programs and through the opportunities you give our students, our industry sponsors play a vital role in helping ensure Deakin graduates are prepared for the jobs and skills of the future. 
We wish to thank our industry partners and their continuous contributions in recognising our DBS students. 
Professor Mike Ewing
Executive Dean, Deakin Business School
