age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal, and

Welcome - and my heartfelt congratulations to all graduands at this

alongside you in 2022.
After over a year as Vice-Chancellor of this wonderful institution, it is
clear that our students are diverse, resilient, resourceful and passionate
about achieving their goals. This has never been more evident than in
the last two years when your studies were disrupted by COVID-19. Your
achievement here today is remarkable, and I hope you are as proud of
yourselves as I am.
In graduating from VU, you become alumni of a university among the
world’s best. This enhances the value of the qualification you have
worked so hard to earn, and will assist you as you forge ahead with your
career both near and far.
I can think of no other Australian university with more potential than VU
to influence and contribute to its communities. This is where you come in
— your award is an opportunity for you to make a real contribution to the
workforce and society, whether it is around the corner or the world.
I join the Chancellor in encouraging you to remain connected to the
university as part of our ever-growing alumni community. I look forward
to hearing more from you as you join them as valued ambassadors of VU.
Congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone. Our thoughts are
with you on this special day.

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY GRADUATION PROGRAM MARCH 2022 7THE UNIVERSITY MACE
– AN ESTABLISHED TRADITION
Our graduation ceremonies begin with the entrance of the University mace, signifying the authority
of the Chancellor. Carried by the Mace Bearer, the mace symbolises learning, scholarship and our
rich history. The mace connects us with those who have come before and those who will follow in
the pursuit of learning. Made of sterling silver and 24-carat gold, the design includes the letter ‘V’,
standing for Victoria – our University’s home and namesake.
8 VICTORIA UNIVERSITY GRADUATION PROGRAM MARCH 2022ACADEMIC
DRESS
Wearing academic dress on ceremonial occasions is a celebrated university tradition, and generally
consists of a gown (also known as a robe) with a separate hood (also known as a stole), and usually
a cap – doctoral candidates wear a bonnet. Throughout the Commonwealth, universities usually
follow the academic dress style of Oxford or Cambridge. Our academic dress is based on the
Oxford style. Traditionally, the Chancellor’s gown is faced in gold and the Vice-Chancellor’s gown is
faced in silver.

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY GRADUATION PROGRAM MARCH 2022 15HONORARY DEGREE
CITATION
Professor The Hon. Barry Jones AC
Victoria University is proud to honour Professor The Hon. Barry Jones AC and recognise his ongoing commitment to
accessible tertiary education in Melbourne’s west and his longstanding relationship with Victoria University, including
during his time as Federal Member for Lalor.
Professor The Hon. Barry Jones AC has had an extensive career as a public servant, university lecturer, lawyer, high school
teacher, television, and radio performer.
From 1972-77, Professor Jones was MP for Melbourne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly before transferring to the
Commonwealth Parliament as MP for Lalor from 1977-1998. He was Minister for Science between 1983-90, Minister for
Prices and Consumer Affairs in 1987, Minister for Small Business 1987-90 and Minister for Customs 1988-90.
In the 1980s Professor Jones was the first Australian politician to pursue the issue of climate change, global warming,
and greenhouse gases when warnings about a potential climate emergency went largely unheeded in Australia. He also
anticipated the digital revolution’s impact and the development of the post-industrial society.
This passion extended to the Executive Board of UNESCO in Paris, where he served from 1991-95, and as Vice-President
of its World Heritage Committee from 1995-96. In addition, he was National President of the ALP from 1992-2000 and
2005-06, Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Convention in 1998, and a Visiting Fellow Commoner at Trinity College,
Cambridge in 2000-01.
Professor Jones is the only person to have been elected as a Fellow of all four Australian learned academies FTSE (1992),
FAHA (1993), FAA (1996), FASSA (2003). He was awarded an AO in 1993, before being promoted to AC in 2014, and named
by the National Trust in 1998 as one of Australia’s 100 Living National Treasures.
He chaired the Victorian Schools Innovation Commission from 2001-05 and Port Arthur Historic Site Management
Authority from 2000-04 and 2005-12, and was elected a Fellow of the Australian College of Educators in 2003.
Professor Jones has always been an enthusiast of promoting access to tertiary education in the West of Melbourne. Even
when the whole concept was quite unfamiliar, even daunting for many, Professor Jones lobbied for the expansion and
consolidation of Victoria University - particularly the expansion of the Werribee campus in his Federal Electorate of Lalor.
In 2021, Professor Jones delivered the inaugural Jean McLean Oration at Victoria University to honour Jean’s
long and distinguished career as a politician and activist.
His speech entitled The Democratic Crisis: Whatever happened to courage, principle,
commitment, accountability? was both poignant and highly insightful.
It provided a considered and detailed insight into the threats and risks that
democratic societies face every day.
In recognition of his outstanding contribution to Victoria University and tertiary
education in the West of Melbourne, I have the great honour to present to you, for
admission to the degree of Doctor of the University, honoris causa, Professor The
Hon Barry Jones AC.

Vice-Chancellor and President
