Welcome message from the Vice-Chancellor

I am delighted to welcome you to our first donor stewardship and recognition newsletter dKin Difference.

dKin Difference is an opportunity for us to say thank you to our valuable donors – Deakin’s philanthropic family.

Your support is enabling our researchers to push the boundaries, to take the risks and pursue the innovations that are leading to ground breaking discoveries in core research areas of health, manufacturing, energy, robotics and cyber security.

And thanks to your generosity, we have been able to provide the scholarships that give students who would not otherwise have the opportunity, the chance to gain an education that will not only change their lives and the lives of their families, but also make a positive contribution to society.

Your generosity is making a very real difference to the quality of education we are able to offer our students and to Deakin’s capacity to enable world-leading and transformative research.

Thank you for your vision and your faith in Deakin. Your support is enabling our researchers to push the boundaries, to take the risks and pursue the innovations that are leading to ground breaking discoveries in core research areas of health, manufacturing, energy, robotics and cyber security.

Through this newsletter we look forward to keeping you in touch with the work Deakin is doing.
