THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Growing Esteem in 2013

The University’s founding motto postera crescam laude is

taken from a line in a Horace ode, and translated, means

“We shall grow in the esteem of future generations”.

6JKU�CURKTCVKQP��YJKEJ�EQPVKPWGU�VQ�KPHQTO�KVU�UVTCVGI[��‘Growing Esteem’, seeks to achieve high renown for

the University through the outstanding quality of its

teaching and learning, research and research training,

and engagement with communities at home and abroad.

‘Growing Esteem’ was initiated as a strategy for the

University community in 2005, refreshed in 2010, and

marked for a further iteration of the strategy from 2014

after initial discussions this year.

CELEBRATING 160 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

2013 was a year of celebration for the University of Melbourne as staff,

students and alumni came together to commemorate the University’s

achievements as Australia’s leading university, and the oldest in Victoria.

Founded in 1853, the University of Melbourne celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2013. The year of celebration

culminated with two special events. In October, Chancellor Elizabeth Alexander played host to a golden alumni event

in recognition of esteemed members of the University community who attended as far back as the early 1930s.

Then in December, Vice-Chancellor Glyn Davis joined a full complement of academic and professional staff,

from University campuses across the state, in a lunchtime celebration on the South Lawn.

Staff were treated to a multicultural selection of delicacies, enjoyed roaming performances by students from the

Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and the Conservatorium of Music, had their photographs taken with

colleagues in the 160th anniversary photo booth, and took away with them a gift of 160 Years: 160 Stories.

The 160 Years: 160 Stories collection features biographies of some of the University’s most well-known and respected

individuals and unsung heroes and heroines. It was specially updated for the 160th anniversary by Professor Peter

INVENTOR OF THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT WINS LASKER AWARD FOR PIONEERING RESEARCH

In a ceremony in New York on 30 September, the University of Melbourne’s Laureate Professor Emeritus Graeme Clark,

was honoured with the 2013 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for his pioneering work in developing

the modern cochlear implant, a device that bestows hearing on severely-to-profoundly deaf people.

The Lasker Awards are among the most respected science prizes in the world, honouring visionaries whose insight

Professor Clark was Head of the University of Melbourne’s Department of Otolaryngology in the Faculty of Medicine,

Dentistry and Health Sciences at the time of his research. Despite facing criticism in the early days of his breakthrough

investigation, Professor Clark’s determination and perseverance, in conjunction with multidisciplinary research at the

University, eventuated in the creation of a device which has changed the lives of over 320 000 people worldwide.

The creator of the cochlear implant, a revolutionary device that enables people

born or made deaf through disease or trauma to hear and recognise speech,

has won a top international award in clinical medical research.

Professor Graeme Clark, cochlear ear implant pioneer, was awarded the 2013 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award

In 2013, the biennial Festival of Ideas brought University of Melbourne staff and students together with the people

of Melbourne. Alongside leading international academics, artists, philosophers and commentators, the Festival offered

a series of interactive discussions around the key themes of human rights, environment, food and nutrition, families,

brains and mind, and democracy.

The 2013 festival was directed by Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow and former Australian of the Year Professor Fiona Stanley

AC, the Founding Director of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

Distinguished panellists included Australian barrister and human rights and refugee activist Julian Burnside AO QC,

Australian UK-based author Kathy Lette, US public health expert Lawrence Gostin, Commissioner of the New York City

Department of Design and Construction David Burney, Hong Kong-based political writer Luo Xiaopeng, distinguished

Australian writer and Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow Arnold Zable, Melbourne’s Director of City Design Rob Adams, and

Australia’s Stephanie Alexander, cook, restaurateur, food writer and founder of the kitchen garden scheme for over 450

primary schools across the country.

The Festival’s highly interactive format proved extremely successful with more than 10 000 people attending, over

2000 viewers engaging online through the live-streamed presentations, and more than 2100 people taking part in the

live polling that determined the most popularly supported proposition of each session. The Festival hashtag trended in

Melbourne’s Twittersphere, with over 1000 mentions occurring on each day, the most popular being Human Rights,

Environments, Food and Nutrition, and Brains and Mind, with a particular focus on ‘The Liveable City’.

The Festival generated 212 media hits (a 657 per cent increase on 2011) and an estimated audience reach of 3.4 million

(up 340 per cent on 2009).

WINGED VICTORY FLIES HIGH

Winged Victory, the name University of Melbourne sports teams take to competition, excelled in 2013, winning the

Overall Champion’s trophies in the Australian University Games, and both the men’s and women’s categories of the

Australian Boat Race.

430 student-athletes, managers, coaches and staff took part in the 2013 Australian University Games (AUG). The

University’s contingent was the fourth largest behind the University of New South Wales, Monash University and the

University of Sydney. As defending AUG Overall Champions following 13 national titles in Adelaide in 2012, expectations

for success were high.

NEW SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT LAUNCHED The University of Melbourne’s newest graduate school, launched in 2013,

will nurture future political leaders and public servants, and cement the

University as a regional leader in the study of public policy as Australia

enters the Asian Century.

The Governor of Victoria and Former Chancellor His Excellency the Honourable Alex Chernov AC QC launched the

Melbourne School of Government in June 2013.

The new School, which will bolster the study of policy, public administration and governance, will be instrumental in

assisting the University to play an even greater role in the creation of real world solutions to the big challenges.

A joint venture of the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Business and Economics, and Melbourne Law School, the Melbourne

School of Government brings together a wealth of policy and governance expertise to investigate pressing public policy

problems in a multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary approach. Its curriculum will cover areas such as immigration,

climate, ageing and health, food security, resources taxation and urban planning.

The School also engages with policy makers and the general public in ongoing robust dialogue with business leaders,

government departments, agencies and NGOs, as well as the world’s best think tanks and academic institutions.

Governor of Victoria, His Excellency the Honourable Alex Chernov and Vice-Chancellor Professor Glyn Davis greet guests at the launch of the Melbourne School of Government
