Monty Singh, the Chief International Officer at Victoria University, was named the inaugural executive sponsor of VU’s recently launched Cultural Inclusion Network, Brilliant Together- Cultural Inclusion and Racial Equality Plan 2023-2026. It will build on the existing vision and values of VU’s strategic plan Start Well, Finish Brilliantly.
“Now, more than ever, we need to support people of diverse backgrounds and faiths, and First Nations Peoples, to be heard, to be elevated and have equitable representation, and to be safe. The actions under Brilliant Together speak to that by focusing on transformative organizational change, capacity building, creating welcoming places and spaces, and ensuring our whole community has opportunities to thrive and succeed,” Singh said.
The creation of Brilliant Together is a direct response to VU's Anti-Racism policy and is in alignment with various federal and state legislation, including the Victorian Racial and Religious Tolerance Act, the Equal Opportunity Act, and the Federal Race Discrimination Act. Additionally, this plan reinforces VU's commitment to the new Welcoming Universities benchmark, for which VU is among the five pilot universities nationwide. This initiative encourages universities to actively measure and evaluate their cultural diversity and inclusion practices, ensuring that these objectives are not only reached but also sustained over time.
Before his role at VU, Singh served as the vice president (Global) and chief international officer at Southern Cross University. He has also held comparable positions at institutions such as Macquarie University and Charles Sturt University. Monty boasts a wealth of knowledge and expertise in areas like international recruitment, marketing, collaborations, partnerships, and international operations. His career spans both the public and private sectors, with experiences at the national and international levels.
