Providing access to education is in our DNA. The generosity of our donors is instrumental in helping to create opportunities for students to realise their best potential.
Philanthropy also fuels our researchers’ quest in finding long-term solutions to both local and global challenges. Your support directly translates to real-world impact. It enables us to continually progress discovery and innovation to advance society and culture, design smarter technologies, enable a sustainable world, and improve health and wellbeing.
When you give through Deakin, you increase a critical margin of excellence and opportunity that empowers our graduates and researchers to make a real difference around the world as global leaders, innovators and professionals. Thank you.
Acknowledging the extraordinary, proving wonderful things are possible when we work together. The incredible stories that make up our 2023 edition are moving, inspiring and reveal the deep connections within the Deakin community – all made possible through philanthropic partnerships and the transformative power of giving.
Launched in 2020, our annual donor impact report – the dKin Difference – proudly showcases the incredible support of our donor community. Whether it’s creating solutions through breakthrough research, supporting the future ambitions of a student on scholarship, or helping translate research outcomes back to the community, we recognise and are exceptionally grateful for this impact that philanthropy continues to have.
For Deakin, 2022 was a year of incredible generosity and progress. This issue of the dKin Difference celebrates both. We shine a light on just some of the amazing discoveries and inspiring work being achieved in our research community, and proudly share stories of the extraordinary giving spirit of our donors.
