As a national university it is important to celebrate the
achievements of our staff and students across all of our campuses, research
centres and study centres and today we have been treated with two good news
stories in the space of an hour.
To begin with two of our international students at
CQUniversity Brisbane, have been named by Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor,
Graham Quirk as 2013 Brisbane International Student Ambassadors. Azadeh
Faaliyat from Iran and Edward Kasamba from Uganda will be among 33 new international
student ambassadors.
As part of their new roles, Azadeh and Edward will act as
advocates for international students living in Brisbane and will also help to
promote Brisbane as an international study destination. As part of their role
they will also have the opportunity to further explore Brisbane and experience
some of the attractions including a Broncos game, Moreton Island and touring
the upcoming Ekka. Well done Azadeh and Edward! I am sure you will be great
ambassadors for not just Brisbane but CQUniversity as well!
Finally, I am also excited to announce that Ron Bishop
(Senior Lecturer, Aviation) and Matthew Rockloff (Associate Professor,
Psychology) have been named in the UniJobs Lecturer of the Year Top Ten list.
This is a fantastic result for Ron and Matt, with the national honour based on
votes received from students and colleagues. A well-deserved honour for both
Ron and Matt as I know they go above and beyond in their teaching duties and
community involvement.
Ron Bishop and Matthew Rockloff
