Thinking about where your university journey could take you? Graduation week at ANU offered a glimpse of what’s possible 🎓
One of the highlights? Watching our own student ambassador, Emalisa Edwards, take the stage to deliver the student address at the College undergraduate ceremony—a moment that perfectly captured leadership, resilience, and community spirit.
Graduating with a Bachelor of International Relations and a Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics, Emalisa has made an extraordinary impact during her time at ANU. From helping grow the BIPOC community as Treasurer (2023) and Social Director (2024), to supporting students through the Brian Kenyon Student Space, she has consistently shown what it means to lead with purpose.
And she’s already hitting the ground running—after starting as an intern at Akin Agency in 2025, Emalisa is now working full-time as a Communications Coordinator.
For future students considering ANU, stories like this show how university is more than a degree—it’s a chance to lead, connect, and shape the path you want to create.
