Arriving back at VU Footscray Park Campus, alumnus Tyson Day parked where he did as a student 12 years ago.
Now back to deliver a career design workshop for current students, the full-circle journey brings back fond memories.
“VU is close to my heart; it is where I did my undergraduate degree.
“And it's where I met Daniel Lunardi. Dan passed away at the start of this year. Dan was always beating the drum for VU, this type of institution that's incredibly inclusive.
“It's where Dan and I were able to connect issues that a) he was passionate about and b) I was passionate about,” he remembered.
Several years after finishing their degrees, Tyson and his friend, fellow VU alumnus Daniel Lunardi, co-founded careers education and social enterprise company Arrive & Thrive.
Continuing Daniel's legacy, Arrive & Thrive is dedicated to empowering young people to develop a mindset to design a meaningful career. The team run workshops in schools and universities, with 10% of facilitation fees going to local charities and not-for-profits.
