ANU owes much to the intellectual and cultural contribution of our student body. In return, we work to build on our high standards in research and education. The ANU was created as part of a great nation building exercise in its day. That mandate continues and you share a vital part in it. I hope that your time with us has been enriching. It will certainly shape your future. Receiving your testamur is a significant achievement in its own right. It is also an important milestone. Some of you will decide to pursue further study; some of you will seek challenges outside the University environment. The skills you have developed to sort what is material from what isn’t, of separating fact from fiction, of subject- ing argument to close and rigorous analysis, and solving problems logically and creatively will stand you in good stead in whatever path you follow. These attributes, which also equip you to be good citizens, are pivotal to the good health of our democratic nation. We are confident that you will abide by the highest standards of professional and ethi- cal conduct and to be a continuing contributor to commu- Professor the Hon Gareth Evans AC QC nity service throughout the course of your lives. For the University, today is not just about bidding farewell to our latest group of outstanding students–it’s also about welcoming you to a new phase of life in the ANU commu- nity, as part of our international family of alumni. Enjoy this occasion and the celebrations with friends and loved ones. Behind every degree lies a tale of individual ef- fort, sacrifice and achievement. I offer my heartiest congratulations to all of you. 2 The Australian National University WELCOME FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR Our founders had high expectations of us. They planned for a university which would make all Australians proud and improve our understanding of our country and our neighbours. More than 70 years later, we still have these aspirations in mind. Our global reputation is such that we can say that we have done what was, and is, expected of us. What you do as graduates will contribute to this legacy. This ceremony celebrates your efforts as well as those of the friends, family and ANU staff who have supported you. Your achievement is like no other; you have been scruti- nised by the best, and have been admitted, by them, to their community. For this, you should be extremely proud. I wish you well in your future endeavours–whatever it is you choose to do, wherever you choose to do it. Brian P Schmidt AC FAA FRS, Vice-Chancellor Conferring of Awards December 2019 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY The Australian National University acknowledges the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land upon which this graduation ceremony takes place. This Ngunnawal Ngambri land has supported our students throughout their time at ANU and will continue to hold a space for future generations to come together, learning from Country and one another. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, past, present and future and acknowledge that this land from which we benefit has an ancient history that is both rich and sacred. The ANU community makes a commitment to always respect the land upon which we stand and ensure that the voices of this land’s First Peoples are both heard and listened to so that we may move towards a future marked by cooperation and a shared respect. 4 The Australian National University THE UNIVERSITY Since the University’s inception, ANU Reconciliation at ANU academics have taken their ideas to the The University has made a formal commitment to reconcili- world, and the world’s best have come ation with Indigenous Australians; launching in July 2009 one of the first Reconciliation Action Plans within the higher here to collaborate with internationally education sector.

The culture of ANU The distinguishing culture of ANU is one where the notion of discovery pervades all that we do. For all staff, it is the dis- covery of new and better ways to research, to educate and to support ANU students and scholars. For academic staff, it is the discovery of new knowledge and new insights, and the creative use of these innovations in further research and education. For students, it is the discovery of new under- standing, in breadth and in depth, in their fields of interest.
