CONGRATULATIONS
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE
FROM THE CHANCELLOR
On behalf of the Deakin community,
I would like to congratulate you on
graduating from Deakin University.
Today’s ceremony not only marks the
completion of years of hard work and
dedication, it also signifies the beginning
of an exciting new chapter in your life.
Graduation Day is also a very proud day
for those who have been there with you
through all the ups and downs of your
academic journey. Graduation ceremonies
are important milestones. They give us the
opportunity to look optimistically towards
the future and to acknowledge the past
through centuries-old academic traditions.
But most importantly they are an opportunity
to celebrate your achievements with the
friends, family and teachers who care
about you.
Your graduation is a beginning, not an
ending. As you walk across the stage
to take these first steps towards your
profession, an entrepreneurial pursuit
or perhaps to further study, I encourage
you to see your success as both a source
of pride in your past achievements and
as a basis for confidence in your future.

DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
Mr John Stanhope
As a Deakin alumnus I urge you stay
connected, and to take advantage of the
many opportunities to become active and

and have valued the lifelong friendships and
networks I have made.
Mr John Stanhope
Chancellor
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE
FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR
Congratulations! You are now a graduate
of Deakin University. It is an important day
for you and your family, and a proud day
for us too, as we watch you and your fellow
graduates walk across the stage.
My message to all of you is that whatever
your future career, pursue your passion
even when the road ahead seems difficult.
Work hard, have fun, but remain aware of
the inevitable and constant changes in the
world and the fabulous opportunities that
will come your way. Remember that the
greatest innovations in history always
come from people who are bold enough
to explore new frontiers and to think
differently. Be curious, be brave,
be creative and be persistent.
Professor Jane den Hollander
The key message of this graduation
ceremony is that it tells you are ready
to go in to action. Ideas, knowledge and
know-how will be the critical currency for
success in the 21st century, and I hope
you will put your degree to work to make
a difference in the world.
Congratulations on the degrees you have
been awarded. Have a fabulous day, applaud
your fellow graduates and I wish you good
fortune for your future careers.
Very often it is only after graduation that
graduates recognise the importance of the
stature and reputation of their university.
After all, it is a university’s reputation that
determines the value and currency of the
award you have worked so hard to attain.
As alumni you’ll be pleased to know that
Deakin now ranks 36 in the QS ranking of the
world’s universities under 50 and in the top
3 per cent of the worlds’ universities in all
the major rankings.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
TRADITIONAL LAND OWNERS
Deakin University would like to acknowledge
the Gunditjmara People, the traditional
custodians of the land on which this
Graduation Ceremony is taking place.
We pay our respects for their continued
care of the land and further extend that
respect to elders past, present and future.
ORDER OF CEREMONY
Processional music heralds the arrival
of the Academic Procession for the
graduation ceremony.
At the commencement of this music,
graduands and guests are asked to stand and
remain standing for the National Anthem.
The Master of Ceremonies will open
proceedings and the Chancellor will deliver
the opening address. The Vice-Chancellor
will then introduce the guest speaker who
will deliver the occasional address.
6
DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
The Chancellor will then make a formal
declaration conferring the awards of the
University on the graduates, both present
and inabsentia, and he will invite graduates
to proceed to the stage according to the
order published in the program.
A Faculty Executive Dean (or representative)
will read out the names of graduates being
presented to the Chancellor.
At the conclusion of the presentation of the
graduates, a representative of the graduating
students will deliver a brief response.
The Vice-Chancellor will deliver the closing
address. Following the closing address, there
will be a musical performance.
At the conclusion of the ceremony guests are
requested to stand while the stage party and
graduates leave the hall.
Refreshments will then be served in the
marquee.
THE UNIVERSITY MACE
Maces were originally medieval weapons carried by bodyguards to kings and sergeants-atarms. Much later, the mace became of ceremonial rather than practical significance and
organisations such as civic corporations and universities adopted the mace as a symbol
of the rule of legal authority.
The University’s mace is displayed at meetings of the University Council and on such
ceremonial occasions as conferring ceremonies. The bearer of the mace, in academic
processions, ‘guards’ the Chancellor. Deakin’s mace was presented to the University by
Mr Donald Thomson, Sir Wilfred Brookes and Mr Norman Stephen (Alcoa Australia).

ACADEMIC DRESS
Academic dress is an important reminder
of the long history of universities in western
civilisation. The three main elements of
academic dress are the gown, the hood and
the head-dress, which were all once articles
of everyday outer dress. Both gowns and
hoods, when in common use, were often
lined and this lining was decorative, as well
as practical. In medieval times, the higher
the rank of the wearer, the more sumptuous
the gown.
In universities there is still a difference in
the apparel of scholars of various ranks
reflecting the origins of the academic dress.
Today’s academic head-dress evolved from
various hats and bonnets of earlier times.
Deakin University’s academic dress, like that
of most Australian universities, derives from
dress worn at the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge.

DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
THE UNIVERSITY
ALFRED DEAKIN
Deakin University was named in honour of
Alfred Deakin (1856–1919), a remarkable
Australian statesman, leading figure of
the federation movement and three-time
Prime Minister of Australia.
Alfred Deakin was a man of broad vision.
Praised as a political leader, he was an
outstanding orator, accomplished lawyer,
a journalist, poet, an intellectual and an
idealist motivated by a sense of duty to
his country.
The son of English migrants, Alfred Deakin
was born and educated in Melbourne,
studying law at the University of Melbourne.
He embarked upon a career in journalism
with The Age and was a prolific reader of
literature, philosophy, law and science,
earning most of his income as a writer
of social and political commentaries.
In 1879, Alfred Deakin launched his political
career and became a successful Liberal
candidate for the Victorian Parliament.
A believer in democratic social reform, he
became the acknowledged leader of the
Australian Federation movement in Victoria.
He was an active campaigner, a delegate
at the federal conventions, member of
the constitutional drafting committee and
colonial representative in London.
Alfred Deakin
Alfred Deakin was Deputy Prime Minister
and Attorney-General in Australia’s first
government and, in 1903, he became Prime
Minister. His many achievements include the
establishment of the High Court of Australia,
the introduction of labour and social reforms,
the promulgation of new technologies
such as irrigation and wireless telegraphy,
support for the exploration of Antarctica
and the introduction of financial support for
Australian writers.
The values of innovation, leadership,
scholarship and reform embodied in Alfred
Deakin are also fundamental values of
Deakin University.

universities to embrace professional and
continuing education to corporate clients,
establishing Deakin Australia (now known
as DeakinPrime) in 1993.
• In the mid-1970s, the disused woolstores
on the waterfront in central Geelong
was one site considered and rejected
for the proposed university that was to
become Deakin. In 1996, this idea came to
fruition with the opening of the Geelong
Waterfront Campus. The campus is the
result of an award-winning reconstruction
of the buildings.
• Enrolments at the Geelong Waterfront

of Medicine opened, becoming Victoria’s
first rural and regional medical school.
• In 2009, the refurbished Dennys Lascelles
Building was reopened, housing the Deakin

Deakin Research Institute.
• In September 2011, Deakin announced the
investment of $5 million over the next five
years to place its Warrnambool Campus in
the international spotlight for marine and
aquaculture research and teaching.
• In December 2011, the first medical
graduates were conferred.
• February 2012 saw the first intake of

Campus, to the cafe culture of our Melbourne
Burwood Campus, the spectacular coastal
location at our Warrnambool Campus or

Mr Andrew Jeffers, Managing Director of
Wannon Water.
Before he was appointed Managing
Director of Wannon Water in 2015,
Andrew Jeffers worked for 23 years in
various engineering and corporate roles
within the Victorian water industry, 16 of

a deep understanding of the water industry
and the business of a water corporation.
Mr Jeffers is passionate about fostering
community partnerships to help the
communities of the south-west flourish. He
also has an interest in ensuring that Wannon
Water’s environmental impact is understood

32
DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
Mr Jeffers has a special interest in addressing
gender inequality and is overseeing a range of
initiatives to help achieve gender equality at
Wannon Water. Mr Jeffers cites research that
shows gender-diverse groups make better
decisions. Given at least 50% of the brightest
people in the world are female, he can see
many real business benefits for Wannon
Water and its customers by addressing
gender inequality.
Mr Jeffers has a Bachelor of Civil Engineering
from Swinburne University and a Masters
of Environmental Engineering, as well as a
Masters of Business Administration from
Deakin University. He is a graduate member
