Victoria Business School’s highest achievers were celebrated at the School’s fourth annual Excellence Awards in May.

The awards recognise Victoria Business School's top graduating students across each of its disciplines, as well as its best PhD and Master’s students. A number of special awards were also presented including the Victoria Business School and AVC (Pasifika) Scholarships.

Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Commerce Professor Bob Buckle says it was great to acknowledge the successes of Victoria Business School’s best and brightest ahead of graduation.

"These awards acknowledge the years of hard work and commitment our students have dedicated to their education and to being the very best they can be. This is a great achievement."

Guest speaker, Victoria Business School alumnus and Faculty Advisory Board Member Vanisa Dhiru, told the audience she was humbled to be in the company of such great achievers, and to never be disheartened when things don't go to plan.

"It's the people behind you—your family, whanau, community—who will help push you past those boundaries to follow your dreams."

Professor Buckle expressed his gratitude to sponsors who had partnered with Victoria Business School to provide named prizes.

"We are proud of the strong working relationships we enjoy with leading New Zealand businesses and government agencies.

"Their involvement in these awards not only demonstrates their ongoing support for Victoria Business School, but for the future leaders who received the awards."
