UniNews readers were recently invited to be in the draw for a double pass to see The Supreme Dreams when they perform in Rockhampton on November 10..

Liverpool is one of the world's most famous sporting clubs, with players worth hundreds of millions of dollars and a fanatical world-wide following.

Now an academic who earned his exercise physiology PhD at our Rockhampton Campus has earned the chance to work alongside the club's coaches and trainers to improve player performance.

Young Indigenous student Adeah Kabai says he's always had a strong interest in designing and building projects, leading to his enrolment as a Bachelor of Civil Engineering student at CQUniversity.

The 20-year-old says his favourite high school subjects included maths, science, physics, graphics and chemistry, which are all integral to his chosen career path.

CQUniversity's Geoff Dell has been honoured with the highest award the Safety Institute of Australia bestows, the Harold Greenwood Thomas Award*.

This SIA award is not given every year but rather when an exceptional individual is nominated by their peers.

Mackay Campus was the focal point for discussion of the new National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children this week.

A special panel event was hosted by the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research (QCDFVR), which is based at CQUniversity.

Almost 1000 children from dozens of schools attended the annual MIST* conferences for boys and girls at CQUniversity Bundaberg this week.

Each of the participating children from years 6 to 9 took part in workshops across the themes of Mathematics, ICT, Science and Technology (design).

Senior representatives from the coal, steel and gas industries were among speakers for the recent Gladstone Engineering Alliance Golding Industry Conference, hosted by CQUniversity Gladstone.

Head of Campus Professor Chad Hewitt also gave an address at the 'industry showcase', promoting CQUniversity's capabilities in research and innovation and drawing on his role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research).

Online environments offer an educational domain unique in their potential for interaction, participation and collaboration and have been acknowledged to represent one of the fastest growing contexts for adult learning.

Now CQUniversity is helping to examine the interactions behind the scenes of online learning, thanks to being part of a consortium of distance education universities called DE Hub (also including Uni of New England, Charles Sturt Uni, and Uni of Southern Queensland).

CQUniversity is well placed to save money through energy savings across its older campus buildings, while acting as a beacon for other organisations considering reductions in their carbon emissions.

That's according to Cath Bremner, Chief Operating Officer for Low Carbon Australia*, who visited Rockhampton Campus this week with her LCA colleague Mel Cutler and Fitzroy Basin Association** representative Michael Bent.
