VICE-CHANCELLOR’S CITATION FOR OUTSTANDING
CONTRIBUTION TO STUDENT LEARNING
RECIPIENT
Dr Anna von Reibnitz and A/Prof Geoff Warren designed and deliver the ANU Student Managed Fund (SMF) – a year-long course in which students manage endowment funds of around $0.7million supporting the RSFAS Student Managed Fund Equity Scholarship. The SMF is structured as a complete investment organisation with students taking responsibility for all facets of the operations. The experience prepares students to be effective employees and ultimately leaders in the business world.
"[The students] grow as people; they become a lot more self confident and there's some real learning in that – real genuine, deep learning about life skills. To me, that's the secret sauce of the Student Managed Fund. And it's also what inspires me the most."
"I'll never tire of seeing our students, [who] join as relatively inexperienced juniors, develop strong skills and professional networks through their year in the fund and emerge as leaders who are job ready."
