Sharing contest: Your Stories, Our Legacy

At RMIT, legacy isn’t just built on milestones. It’s shaped by everyday actions – learning, guiding, supporting and growing together, so students can step confidently into the future.

From a class that rewired someone’s thinking, to advice that sparked the courage to lead, to a project, club, or event that ignited a lifelong passion, your story is part of what makes RMIT, RMIT.

For 25 years, these shared stories have formed a legacy bigger than any one of us could create alone. Now, we’re inviting you to share yours:

How has our community helped students get ready for what’s next?

Join us in the "Legacy story sharing contest: Your Stories, Our Legacy”.
