In October, Courage to Care Victoria CEO Mike Zervos OAM received a Monash University Business School Alumni Impact Award at the Deans Gala Dinner.
Each year, there are six awards for varying categories and Mike won the Impact category award.
In Mike’s humble words: “the best part of winning the award was that the emphasis was on the educational work of Courage to Care, which was applauded and celebrated.”
Mike has dedicated his career to standing up for what’s right. As the CEO of Courage to Care he has helped teach more than 175,000 Victorian students about the dangers of racism, antisemitism and hate speech.
“As a business graduate, I apply the principle that investing in educating our younger generations will have a strong social return on that investment,” Mike says.Â
Mike’s dedication to social justice spans three decades, with key roles at the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Alannah and Madeline Foundation, and Guide Dogs Victoria, earning him a 2023 King’s Birthday Honours Order of Australia.
