2009 » REPORT TO DONORS A word of thanks from the Vice-Chancellor » 2010 has brought us the strongest student intake to our new courses so far, with demand rising in almost every course and our ENTER scores setting a bracing precedent for the future. We are immensely pleased with how the community has now embraced the “Melbourne Model”. Meanwhile, 2009 was a pivotal year for Australian universities, with the implementation of far-reaching reforms to the higher education sector following the bradley Review. We have now completed a thorough review of our “Growing esteem” Strategic Plan, both to measure our progress and to adjust to the changing environment. our fundamental mission – to be one of the leading public-spirited universities of the world, making a distinctive contribution to society – remains unwavering. but many details of our strategy have been refined, and we face the next three years with renewed energy and refreshed commitment. Yet despite the many difficulties universities faced in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, 2009 proved to be another record year for philanthropic income at the University of Melbourne, with our support significantly increased on the previous year. The following pages set out some of the new and continuing projects, and I would like to express my abiding gratitude for your continuing interest in and support of our work.
