When we take stock of the achievements of our alumni community over the last 12 months the record of contributions you have made to your School, and the communities in which you work and live are a wonderful tribute to the essence of what it means to be an MBS alumnus.
During 2008 and beyond, I look forward to hearing of, reading about and working with you to continue to make a difference.

4Seasons networking events are a great opportunity for newer graduates to meet with old friends, exchange ideas, explore new goals and build a network. The casual networking events are held at local bars in Melbourne's CBD every quarter (Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring). Everyone from the classes of '04, '05, '06, '07 is invited and this year we'll also welcome the Class of 2008 to the group.
The new organising committee of Ben Cusack, Jane Lay, Sascha Dickenson and Leanne Dembo promise to bring you a range of exciting venues and a new Friday-night format. The first event for the year will be on Friday 22 February. Look out for the email invitation coming shortly.
