在大学学习的经历改变了他的职业生涯后，埃德蒙·米奇斯基和丈夫史蒂夫·加罗德通过遗嘱中的礼物为其他lgbtqia+学生争取到了这段经历。 埃德蒙·米奇斯基（edmundmiterski）与丈夫史蒂夫加罗德（stevegarood）合影，他获得了新南威尔士州新总理奖学金，攻读公共管理研究生文凭。 回想起来，大多数改变我们生活的时刻都是有意义的，更不用说影响了。 但有时你会感觉到一件事发生在你身上的重量。 埃德蒙·米奇斯基到悉尼大学时就是这样。 这种感觉一直伴随着他，并最终促使他和丈夫史蒂夫·加伍德决定在遗嘱中留下一份慷慨的礼物。 埃德蒙德在悉尼大学的旅程始于2007年他获得了新南威尔士州新总理奖学金，攻读公共管理研究生文凭。 新南威尔士大学公共部门约有40万名员工，每年只颁发50个奖学金。 他说：“获得政府研究生院的奖学金是有效的。”。 “这一认可再次证明了我的奉献精神，并激发了我对未来学术追求的热情。 “2008年完成研究生文凭有助于重塑他对公共服务的看法，并点燃了他新发现的勇气和雄心。 埃德蒙德说：“我不知道这会对我的职业生涯产生什么影响，我只是希望能有两天的假期去学习政府管理的研究生课程。”。 “参加该项目几个月后，在听取了讲师和每周高级政府官员的演讲后，它开始拓宽我对自己的看法，以及我在职业生涯中可以做什么。 edmund和steve为lgbtqia+商学院和悉尼兽医学院的学生提供了奖学金。 他开始在教育部寻求更高级别的借调机会，不到一年，埃德蒙就从塔夫学院教授市场营销的职位转为高级管理职位，同时攻读公共政策硕士学位。 回想这段旅程，埃德蒙和他的丈夫史蒂夫·加伍德决心帮助其他人获得同样的支持，因此他们在遗嘱中捐赠了两个奖学金。 其中一个支持lgbtqi+兽医科学专业的学生，他们受到了在大学兽医中心与已故金毛寻回犬米沙相处的经历的启发。 第二个重点是lgbtqi+商学院的学生，解决他们在职业世界中遇到的独特挑战。 当被问及他一生中看到的lgbtqi+人在商业领域的变化时，埃德蒙很快强调，商业并非孤立运作。 “问题应该是关于工作环境和社会的，因为商业环境不是孤立运作的。 我看到了一些变化，但变化还不够respect@work调查发现，lgbtqi+人群更容易在工作场所遭受性骚扰，劳埃德银行的一份报告发现，近一半的lgbtqi+australian人在工作中隐藏自己的身份。 史蒂夫强调教育在克服歧视方面的作用，倡导商业领域的多样性。 埃德蒙和史蒂夫在职业生涯中面临着“粉红天花板”，他们致力于培养包容性。 他们认为，社区中的杰出人物可以成为重要的榜样，强调教育在促进多样性方面的重要性。 大学给了我很多，我们想为下一代做出贡献。 埃德蒙·米奇斯基德还指出，持续的全球化、地缘政治压力和快速发展的技术环境给工人带来了更大的灵活性压力。 他说：“人们需要为工作生涯中的职业转变做好更好的准备。”。 埃德蒙德是波兰和奥地利-乌克兰移民之子，他的成长历程证明了教育在提升不同声音和让他们为不断变化的世界做好准备方面所起的变革作用。 他在悉尼大学的经历发生了范式的转变，让他接触到了鼓舞人心的同龄人和专业人士，并向他展示了自己“同样优秀和聪明”。 史蒂夫认为，他们慷慨的礼物将使这些奖学金成为在商界实现真正平等的关键一步。 这对夫妇感谢在遗赠活动中与其他捐赠者建立联系，分享个人为自己内心深处的事业做出贡献的故事。 史蒂夫说：“每个人都有一个非常好的故事来解释他们为什么要留下遗产。”。 “我遇到一位年长的先生，他说，‘我这辈子从来没有上过大学。 我是个肉贩，我妻子癌症治好了。 我只是觉得我真的很想给医学研究一些钱。 我想，“哇”。 “为大学未来的研究和倡议做出贡献，给他们带来了深刻的成就感，加强了他们为有抱负的学生培养一个更具包容性和多样性的未来的承诺，同时也鼓励慈善事业和社区参与。 正如埃德蒙简明扼要地说：“大学给了我很多，我们想为下一代做出贡献。 “通过支持悉尼大学众多学科中的一个或多个学科的学生或研究，更多地了解你自己的遗产如何对个人产生持久的影响。 阅读更多。 阅读更多。after his experience studying at the university transformed his career, edmund miterski and husband, steve garood, have secured that experience for other lgbtqia+ students through a gift in their will.edmund miterski, pictured here with husband, steve garood, received a new south wales premier’s scholarship to pursue a graduate diploma in public administration. most of the moments that change our lives only make sense, not to mention impact, in retrospect. but sometimes you can feel the weight of an event as it is happening to you. that’s what happened for edmund miterski when he arrived at the university of sydney. that feeling has stayed with him, and eventually motivated his decision, along with husband steve garrood, to leave a generous gift in their will.edmunds journey at the university of sydney began when he received a new south wales premier’s scholarship to pursue a graduate diploma in public administration in 2007. of around 400,000 staff in the nsw public sector, only 50 scholarships are awarded each year.“receiving the scholarship to study at the graduate school of government was validating,” he says. “this recognition reaffirmed my dedication and fuelled my enthusiasm for academic pursuits ahead.”completing his graduate diploma in 2008 helped to reshape his view of public service and ignited a newfound courage and ambition.“i had no idea what impact it would have on my career, i was just expecting to get 2 days off work to go and study a postgraduate course in government administration,” edmund says.“a few months into the program, after hearing the lecturers and weekly senior government executive guests, it started to broaden my view of myself and what i could aspire to do career-wise.”edmund and steve have funded scholarships for lgbtqia+ students in the business school and sydney school of veterinary science. he began seeking secondment opportunities at higher levels in the department of education, and within a year, edmund had moved from his role teaching marketing at tafe to a senior executive role, alongside pursuing a master of public policy.reflecting on this journey, edmund and his husband steve garrood are determined to help others experience the same support and so have endowed two scholarships at the university in their will. one supports lgbtqi+ veterinary science students, inspired by their experiences at the universitys vet centre with their late golden retriever, misha. the second focuses on lgbtqi+ students in business, addressing the unique challenges they encounter in the professional world.when asked about the changes he has seen in the business realm for lgbtqi+ people in his lifetime, edmund is quick to emphasise that business does not operate in isolation.“the question should be about the workplace environment and society because the business environment does not operate in isolation. i have seen some change but not enough change,” he says, citing the 2018 national respect@work survey, which found that lgbtqi+ people were more likely to experience sexual harassment in the workplace, and a report from lloyd’s which found that nearly half of all lgbtqi+ australians hide their identity at work.emphasizing the role of education in overcoming discrimination, steve advocates for diversity in the business realm. edmund and steve, having faced the “pink ceiling“ in their careers, are committed to fostering inclusivity. they believe that prominentlgbtqi+ figures in the community serve as essential role models, underscoring the importance of education in promoting diversity.the university gave me so much, and we want to contribute to the next generation.edmund miterskiedmund also notes that continued globalisation, geo-political pressures and a rapidly advancing technological environment places added pressure on workers to be agile.“people will need to be better prepared for career changes within their working lives,” he says.edmunds journey, shaped by his upbringing as the son of polish and austrian-ukrainian immigrants, is a testament to the transformative role education plays in elevating diverse voices and preparing them for a changing world. his experience at the university of sydney was paradigm-shifting, exposing him to inspiring peers and professionals and showing him that he was “just as good and just as smart”.steve sees the scholarships their generous gift will enable, as a crucial step toward achieving true equality in the business world. the couple appreciates connecting with other donors at bequest events, sharing stories of individuals contributing to causes close to their hearts.“everybody has got a really good story as to why they want to leave their bequest,” steve says.“i met an older gentleman, and he said, ‘i’ve never been to university in my life. i was a butcher and my wife got cured of cancer. and i just thought i’d really like to give some money into medical research’. and i thought, ‘wow’.”contributing to the universitys future research and initiatives brings them a profound sense of fulfillment, reinforcing their commitment to fostering a more inclusive and diverse future for aspiring students, while also encouraging philanthropy and engagement within the community.as edmund succinctly puts it, “the university gave me so much, and we want to contribute to the next generation.“discover more about how your own legacy can make a
