Monash University's top marketing students were honoured at the 1998 Monash Marketing Awards for Excellence on 7 December.
The dinner, held at the Grand Hyatt, celebrated the academic achievements of the university's best marketing students. More than 50 awards were presented on the night, which had as its theme 'Creating global marketers'.
Guests included academics, industry representatives and students. Monash Marketing alumni were also invited to attend and were eligible for particular awards.
The event brought students and industry representatives together to network and gain advice from those within the industry. Many representatives from top organisations used the evening to seek out recruits.
The event is organised each year by a committee of Monash marketing students. For more details, contact extn 32982.
A violence prevention strategy developed by a Monash academic has been honoured nationally.
The Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix Public Order Plan, developed by Associate Professor Arthur Veno, director of the Centre for Police and Justice Studies, was chosen as a finalist in the recent 1998 Australian Violence Prevention Awards (AVPA). Finalists received $2000 and a certificate of merit.
Ms Judith Dixon from the AVPA selection committee congratulated Dr Veno on the high standard of the strategy. "Your project will be used as a model for others working in the area," she said.
Dr Veno said the Grand Prix Public Order Plan, developed at the invitation of the Victoria Police Major Incident Planning Unit, had been enormously successful.
The strategy of involving motorcyclists themselves in maintaining order had helped to eliminate violence from an event which, more than 10 years ago, had been plagued by chronic violence, he said.
