Last week we celebrated the achievements of our students at
the CQUniversity Student Awards. Recognising the hard work of our students is
something we do every year however this time we did it a bit differently,
electing to present the awards via video conference and including all of our
campuses from Cairns to Melbourne, in the one celebration.
Sometimes, relying on technology for something so important can
be a gamble, but our alumni relations, information technology and corporate
events teams pulled it off without a hassle and I was thrilled with the
results. It was the next best thing to having everyone in the same room.
As well as being thrilled with how the event ran I was also
astounded by the students being recognised, especially among our first and
second years. There will certainly be no shortage of talent for employers to
choose from in the next few years if these students are anything to go by –
well done to you all and congratulations to you and your families!
Of course when talking about student awards I cannot go past
recognising our many generous partners and donors who make this event possible.
Your contribution to CQUniversity and our students is appreciated immeasurably.
In some cases it is the support of our partners and donors
that can make the difference between a student being able to attend university
or not. In addition to relieving financial obstacles this generosity provides
inspiration and motivation to students and instills self-confidence and belief,
helping them to concentrate on their studies and enabling them to make the most
of their potential.
