Golden Key at Victoria University
The Victoria University Chapter of Golden Key, is one of 32 chartered universities in Australia and among over 40 universities in the Asia-Pacific’s region with a Golden Key Chapter. Compared to other chapters, we are quite young, only established on the 7th January 2006. However, in that small space of time, we have achieved much!
Our chapter is working towards achieving 'Gold Standing', with the help of dedicated executive committee members. Each year, Golden Key Headquarters, evaluates Chapter performance based on a set of criteria that aims to measure the level of impact Golden Key has in Academics, Leadership and Service. Gold is the highest possible evaluation that a Chapter can achieve, reflecting the engagement and commitment of the chapter to those pillars of Leadership, Academics and Service, upon which Golden Key is based. In the past, our 'Gold Standing' was reflected by winning the Golden Key International Honour Society “Best Community Service Event” award in the Asia Pacific region. This award recognised our making of 1000 stationary packs, containing stationary necessities, for disadvantaged children in Melbourne's Western suburbs. Since our founding, over 1000 Victoria University students, now comprising alumni and current students, have been inducted into Golden Key. In addition, there has been a number of Honorary members inducted into our society from the university community. These include: Bill Eckersley Inducted 2011 Associate Dean, Teaching and Learning, Victoria University Natalie Vernuccio Inducted 2011 Partnerships Coordinator, School of Education, Victoria Univeristy Elizabeth Harman Inducted 2009 Former Vice Chancellor and President of Victoria University (2003-2010) Wendy O'Connor Inducted 2009 Student Success Project Coordinator, Victoria University Colin McDonald Inducted 2008 Director of Student Engagement David Southwick Inducted 2008 Liberal Party Politician, Victorian Legislative Assembly Jon Hickman Inducted 2008 Former Deputy Vice Chancellor, Victoria University Liz Mordaunt Inducted 2008 Student Leadership and Training Coordinator & Chapter Advisor Stephen Weller Inducted 2008 Former Pro Vice Chancellor Students and Technology, Victoria University Peter Folino Inducted 2007 Careers Education Project Officer, Victoria University |
