What are we doing to prepare our next generation of leaders?

Making transformative leaders

Crowdfunding to send two Graduate House residents,
aged 18-26 to attend, participate and learn at the
National Student Leadership Forum in Canberra each year.

Everybody knows Leadership is important.
Everybody knows leadership is necessary.

Not everyone knows the requirements of a leaders today -
Leaders are meant to be visionaries, coalition - builders, internationally astute, highly creative, comfortable with change and must have strong ethics and values as the foundation that builds their leading capabilities.

The expanding breadth of these competencies leads us to ask ourselves,
"What are we doing to prepare our next generation of leaders?"
After all, their actions shape the collective futures of our children and grandchildren.

Graduate House provides residents every opportunity to discover themselves and to be set up for success.
For this reason, we identify and crowdfund leaders of tomorrow to attend, develop, hone leadership skills and be inspired at the NSLF to create effective change in society. Students who participate in this forum build a strong foundation for personal and professional leadership.
In crowdfunding our resident students to attend this conference, we as a community invest into their lives to see effective returns, guidance and positive change for the future of our community.

Nouman Daud Sharif

"The forum and all the people I met there have changed my life. I have become modest and I have explored myself in a way I never had. I now have a strong urge to do better for others and spread love. Through the forum, I have learned how to learn and that I need to learn more!"

"From the depths of my heart, I pay gratitude to the Graduate Union of the University of Melbourne and Dr Kerry Bennett, who saw potential in me and sponsored me for attending the forum. I appreciate this initiative of the Graduate Union and urge residents to benefit from this wonderful opportunity in the following years!"

"At the end of it, if there is one thing I took away from the conference, it is the need to fill our lives with conversations that allow us to understand those different from us. Conversations that take us outside our comfort zones. No matter how busy we get, it’s always necessary to understand the struggles of those around us and lend a listening ear where possible."

"All of us can do our part to make this world a better place, through actions big and small, as the leaders of tomorrow."

Abby Chen

“No matter how small you think yourself in the community, you should voice out. Before this opportunity, I really treated myself as a normal student doing things well. I didn’t think that broadly about how do I help the community, can I help others. I’ve really realized how strong we actually can be.”

“I’m very excited that Graduate House supported this opportunity for me. It was a fantastic experience, and all of the speakers, from Deng Adut to the Prime Minister and Opposition leader, were utterly inspiring.”

“I really want to help people. I really want to look for any chance now, to help people, it was a really life-changing event for me.”

Callum McNair

“I am delighted and felt honoured and privileged that Dr Kerry Bennett (CEO) and Graduate House nominated and sponsored me to attend the National Student Leadership Forum. The forum was an opportunity for me to reflect on my leadership abilities. I learnt a lot about myself. I am a lawyer and I deal in facts and this Forum certainly made me step outside my comfort zone.”

"I believe this forum helps give us the strength to become this change, to engage with the world and others as a transformative leader that serves others, listens without judging and perseveres against adversity."

Matthias Björnmalm

"The idea was not how to get others to obey and follow you, it was to take control over and lead yourself and to understand and refine your own values. To channel the skills and talents you have into these and to let them guide you."
