I am profoundly honored to be a finalist for the Study Queensland Alumni Award. Queensland was my academic home for six transformative years, where I earned master’s degrees in Chinese translation and education from the University of Queensland and Griffith University.
 
Through rigorous studies and cultural immersion, I honed expertise in Chinese translation and deepened my understanding of education dynamics. This diverse knowledge enables meaningful contributions to academia and culture.My dual master’s degrees represent a commitment to excellence, providing a comprehensive understanding of Chinese translation and education methodologies, along with vital cross-cultural experiences.
 
In tandem with studies, I actively engaged with the community. From participating and leading Australia China Youth Association (ACYA initiatives fostered cultural exchange, while teaching at the multiple Chinese Language Centers shared the richness of language and culture. Volunteering at Chinese festivals further bridged cultural gaps.
 
Consideration for the Study Queensland Alumni Award is a true honor, reflecting enriching years in Queensland. This experience, beyond academics, shaped my cultural awareness and community involvement. My heartfelt gratitude to ACAA for this recognition. Together, we strengthen bonds between Queensland and its global alumni community.
 
 
 
我非常荣幸能够成为昆士兰研究校友奖的决赛入围者。昆士兰州是我六年变革性的学术家园,我在那里获得了昆士兰大学和格里菲斯大学的中文翻译和教育硕士学位。

Huiting (Whitney) Chen, LLB, LLM
Education Committee and Environment Committee Member, University of Melbourne Student Union
The University of Melbourne Alumna
陈慧婷,法学学士,法学硕士
墨尔本大学学生联会教育委员会委员,环境委员会委员
墨尔本大学校友


During my time at the University of Melbourne, I wholeheartedly dedicated myself to improving the lives and wellbeing of international students.
As a member of the Education Committee of UMSU, I actively advocated for educational reforms beneficial to international students, especially those from China. During my tenure, I successfully assisted the team in introducing ‘WAMnesty’—a policy that covers more than 50,000 students, allowing them to achieve better Weighted Average Marks (WAM) during the COVID-19 lockdown, mitigating the unprecedented impact of the pandemic on their academic performance. Furthermore, our team successfully advocated a significant amount of emergency support funding for international students, leading the university to allocate approximately 16 million dollars to assist those facing financial hardships.
Working in the Welfare Department of the UMSU International, I did my utmost to meet the needs of international students, organising activities from providing advice on visa issues to improving students’ mental health and wellbeing.
As the Events Director (2020-2021) and Marketing Officer (2019-2020) of the MCLS, I committed myself to enhancing the interaction between law students and legal professionals, establishing a platform for cultural and professional exchange between Australia and China.
Meanwhile, serving as the Treasurer (2020-2021) and Vice President (2019-2020) of MLMSA, I focused on sustainable and inclusive financial policies, ensuring that the events and activities were accessible to students of all backgrounds. I was the first Chinese student in the association’s history to be elected as Vice President. This position enabled me to amplify the voices and concerns of Chinese students, adding a layer of representation that was previously underrepresented in MLMSA’s leadership.
I also became the first Chinese student chosen as the Melbourne Law Masters’ Student Representative for the GLSA, advocating for the concerns and views of Chinese law students and further promoting a conducive environment for Chinese-Australian cross-border legal discussions.
Additionally, I volunteered as a teacher in the weekly free KWM Chinese Language Classes and have been invited for several years to serve as a judge in the Chinese-English Negotiation Competition. In total, I accumulated over 2,000 hours of volunteer work during my Master of Laws program.
Currently, I continue to contribute as a mentor in the University of Melbourne’s mentor program, sharing experiences and advice with current students. Simultaneously, I am studying a second graduate-level course at the University of Melbourne and again elected to be a member of UMSU, further demonstrating my ongoing commitment to the student community.
Outside of campus activities, I am proud to be one of the founding members of Pink Phoenix, a dragon boat club composed of breast cancer survivors and supporters. This initiative provides an excellent platform for emotional and physical rehabilitation for breast cancer survivors. By promoting traditional Chinese water sports, we not only strive to spread Chinese cultural heritage but also offer a strong support network for breast cancer survivors in Australia. The club symbolizes resilience and unity, empowering individuals to find strength and community through sports.
It is my heartfelt belief that community service is not a one-off activity, but a lifelong commitment. My aim has always been to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of others. I am passionate about continuously bettering myself so that I can, in turn, serve my community more effectively.

就读于墨尔本大学期间,我全身心致力于改善国际学生生活及福利。
 
 曾任墨尔本大学学生联会(UMSU)教育委员会委员,积极倡导有利于国际学生(特别是中国学生)的教育改革。任期内,成功协助团队引入WAMnesty——这成为了涵盖超过50,000名学生的全校政策,使他们能在新冠疫情封锁期间获得更好的加权平均分数(WAM)成绩,以减少空前的疫情困境对学生学术成绩造成的影响。此外,所在团队成功为国际学生向学校争取到大量紧急援助资金,使大学最终拨款约1600万澳元来援助经济困难的国际学生。
 
从事墨尔本大学国际学生联会的福利部门工作,全力满足国际学生的需求(从提供签证问题的建议到组织改善学生心理健康和社会福利的活动)。
 
作为墨尔本中国法学会的活动总监(2020-2021)和市场部干事(2019-2020),致力增进法学学生与法律界专业人士的联系互动,为澳大利亚和中国创造一个文化及专业交流的平台。
 
期间,身为墨尔本大学法学硕士学生会的财务主管(2020-2021)和副主席(2019-2020),专注于财务可持续性和包容性政策,确保活动对所有不同背景的学生开放。作为该协会历史上第一个当选为副主席的中国学生,这让我更有效地增强中国学生的声音和关注,并丰富了MLMSA领导层的代表性。
 
成为了首位选上全球法学学生会“墨尔本法学硕士学生代表”的中国学生,为中国法学学生的关注和观点发声,并进一步积极构建了有利于中澳跨境法律讨论的环境。
 
此外,在每周免费的KWM中文课程中担任志愿教师,并持续多年在墨尔本中英双语谈判大赛中受邀担任裁判。总的来说,我在法学硕士课程期间的各种志愿职位中积累了超过2,000小时的志愿工作时间。
 
目前,继续在墨尔本大学导师项目中作为导师做出贡献,与在读学生分享经验和建议;同时,也在墨尔本大学攻读第二个研究生级别的课程,并再次竞选上UMSU(墨尔本大学学生联会)的职位,继续为所在的学生社区作出持续贡献。
 
除了校园活动外,还很自豪地成为了Pink Phoenix的创始成员之一,这是一个由乳腺癌幸存者和支持者组成的龙舟俱乐部。这一举措为乳腺癌幸存者提供了一个极佳的情感和身体康复平台。通过推广传统的中国水上运动,不仅努力传播中国文化遗产,还为澳大利亚的乳腺癌幸存者提供了强大的支持网络。该俱乐部是坚韧不屈和团结一致的精神象征,让个人能通过运动获得力量并融入群体。
 
我衷心地相信,社区服务不是一次性的活动,而是一种终身的承诺。我希望能对对他人的生活产生持久的、积极的影响。我热衷于持续提升自己,以期能更有效地为我所在的社区服务。

Bihong Wang
President
Asian Business Association of Whitehorse
University of Melbourne Alumna



Leading as the President of ABAW has been an incredible journey, one filled with achievements that I hold close to my heart. Through our collective efforts, we’ve made a significant impact on the local economy, generating $4.5 million through our projects. What truly warms my heart is the fact that over 350,000 people have attended our ABAW events, showing the power of bringing communities together.
 
Charity work has always been a passion of mine, and I’m proud to say that we’ve raised over $50,000 for charitable causes. One of the most memorable moments was organising a group of 200 marathon runners to participate in the Melbourne Marathon for charity – a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a common good.
 
But beyond the numbers, my greatest joy comes from promoting Chinese culture in Australia and fostering cross-cultural cooperation and understanding. This has always been a personal mission, and I’m thrilled to see it thriving within our community.
 
Above all, I want to be a beacon of hope for Chinese migrants, both those who have just arrived and those who have been here for generations. I want them to feel a sense of belonging and unity in this beautiful country we call home.
 
My journey with ABAW has been a remarkable one, and I hope to continue making a positive impact on our society, celebrating diversity and creating a brighter future for all.
 
首先非常荣幸的可以得到提名。担任ABAW白马商会会长,对我来说是极具挑战的,但于此同时也充满了我对社区服务与公益事业的热爱。
 
这一年多的时间,白马商会的团队在共同努力下,对社区经济的复苏与发展发挥了重要的作用。
在这一年之中,我们举办了许多线上及线下活动,对本地社区预计带来了超过450万澳币的经济增长,有超过35万人参与了我们ABAW白马商会的活动。在这些数字背后,更令我心感温暖的是,abaw白马商会团结社区的力量,正向着我们的宗旨和目标前进。
 
慈善工作一直是我的热情所在,在担任白马商会会长的一年多时间里,我们已为慈善事业筹集了超过5万澳币慈善捐款,值得一提的是,我们还组织了一支由200名跑步爱好者的马拉松跑团队伍,代表白马商会参加墨尔本马拉松的慈善活动。我们为慈善而跑,为了公益而跑!这恰恰体现了在白马商会的影响下,积极带动社区为公益事业,团结一心。这让我为我们的团队感到骄傲!

Curt Shi
Founding Partner
Imprint Capital Partners
Macquarie University and Western Sydney University Alumnus

Curt Shi is an investor with over two decades of experience in early-stage investment and cross-border ventures. Since 1999, Curt has actively engaged in China’s TMT entrepreneurial community, leveraging his entrepreneurial background to successfully manage funds in both China and Australia, achieving profitable exits in American and Australian capital markets. His investment focus spans China, the US, Israel, and the South Pacific.
 
In 2008, Curt founded Imprint Capital Partners to capitalize on venture investment opportunities in the TMT sector and other private placement opportunities across a broad range of creative industries. The portfolio includes companies like Airtasker, Catapult Group International, and Sezzle, with the latter two realizing 20x returns on the ASX. In 2015, he co-founded Follow[the]Seed, a post-seed venture fund that uses a unique predictive analytical model to identify future unicorns. This fund’s portfolio includes ASX-listed company Jayride, Salt Security which recently won the 2023 API Award for Best API Security, and Whiterabbit.AI, which clinched the 2023 AI TECH award for healthcare AI. In 2018, he established the US-based Welinder & Shi Capital, a lifestyle-themed fund. Portfolio companies CAKE and SYNG were nominated for Time magazine’s ‘Best 100 Inventions’ in 2021.
Recently, his focus shifted to digital assets and web3, leading him to invest in one of the top projects in the web3 space, STEPN, a move2earn NFT Game-Fi project for mobile devices. This project aims to help millions of runners adapt to Web 3.0 and simultaneously counteract global warming through on-chain governance. Although the founders are Chinese, they started the project in Australia, and Curt was one of STEPN’s earliest investors. His investment in STEPN yielded a 1600x return in just 6 months. He recently established the Prodigital Future Fund in Hong Kong, emphasizing the nurturing of Chinese-founded web3 projects and facilitating their global expansion. He is also the newest General Partner at Boson Ventures, an early-stage Australian venture capital firm with Chinese leadership at the helm. Boson Ventures’ inaugural fund, launched in 2021, outperformed the median vintage fund of that year, boasting an impressive IRR of 52% compared to 5.73%. Curt is deeply committed to fostering a healthier commercial relationship between China and Australia, a commitment evident throughout his career journey.
