A few weeks ago, Monash SEED were delighted to hold our first Sustainability Innovation Challenge (SIC) in partnership with Enactus Melbourne. The program was aimed at connecting students with the resources and people who could guide them in the journey of designing a social enterprise centred around a Sustainable Development Goal. Participants not only upskilled their entrepreneurial skills through modules provided by Monash Generator, but also received workshops and mentoring from professionals in the social impact and start-up space. 💡🌳 We would like to extend our thanks to all the people who made this program possible.  🌟 Thank you to our prize sponsor Bunnings, for empowering the next generation of budding social entrepreneurs, providing them with the opportunity to develop their skills and make a positive impact. 🚀 Thank you to our inspiring and engaging workshop facilitators for hosting such engaging workshops and sharing valuable knowledge: 🌱 👋 Nathan Lee Lee – Account and Partnerships Executive at HEX, and Co-founder of Stint 🌱 Sam Rye– Senior Research Officer at Monash University Living Labs Infrastructure 🌱 Stephen Mason – CEO at Awards Victoria Limited 💫 A big thank you to our enthusiastic and insightful mentors, for sharing their time to review and providing words of wisdom to participants: 🌱 Andrew Loh – Angel Network Manager at Ecotone Ventures 🌱 Edison Trinh – Management Consultant at KPMG Australia 🌱 Stephen Mason, who graciously mentored teams in addition to facilitating a workshop ⚖️ We are also extremely grateful to our wonderful judges, who imparted their wisdom and invaluable feedback to the SIC teams.

This job throws some very fun things my way .... On Sunday I got to be a judge for the Monash University Sustainability Innovation Challenge run by a student group called Monash SEED. These young people incorporated design thinking with sustainability and tackled some of our biggest problems relating to the Sustainable Development Goals. I was very impressed! 💡 We can't solve our problems with the same kind of thinking that created them. Well done to all the teams for going outside the box, taking some risks, and doing it all in a very short timeframe! #sustainability #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #youtharethefuture #sustainabilityhackathon Sakshi Thakur OAM Georgia Welch

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Monash SEED Climate & Sustainability Careers Evening. I would like to express my gratitude for the invaluable experience. This event provided me and other ambitious, sustainability-focused students the space to understand the complexities and opportunities within the sustainability sector. 🌱 The panel, featuring experts such as Simone Pianko, Danielle Koetting, Elaine Fernandes, and Terence Jeyaretnam, delivered great insights into the challenges we face and the pathways available for those committed to making a difference. Their discussions about their journeys in the climate space reiterated the need for dedicated individuals in this field, and I left feeling motivated and more driven in my pursuit of a career focused on sustainability. I also want to extend my appreciation to the networking guests from impactful organizations like KPMG Australia, EY, Amber Electric, and the Suburban Rail Loop Authority. Their willingness to share their experiences and knowledge is invaluable for us students who are eager to face the complexities of careers in sustainability. This event has connected me with like-minded students and professionals who are motivated to tackle the pressing environmental challenges we face. I am grateful to the Monash SEED team for facilitating this important event and for fostering connections that will shape our futures. 🌏

A big thank you to Monash SEED for hosting PHA Oceania at their Climate and Sustainability Careers Evening! We were thrilled to connect with such a dynamic group of students who are passionate about climate and sustainability. It was a fantastic opportunity to spread awareness about the interdisciplinary field of planetary health and discuss how this emerging area is crucial in addressing global challenges. We're excited to have had the chance to help inspire the next generation of enthusiastic climate and sustainability professionals and provide them with opportunities to expand their networks within the planetary health community. Looking forward to continuing these important conversations and collaborations in the future!
