CQUniversity is moving towards a greener workplace, launching a new webpage and office guide on environmentally friendly practices.

In 2011, several University staff in Bundaberg and Mackay took part in a Green Office Challenge where they identified ways to improve and implement sustainable workplace practices on campus.

CQUniversity Bundaberg is set to be the home of a new early intervention centre for children with autism.

Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett was on campus at Bundaberg this week to turn the first sod on the AEIOU Foundation's new purpose-built facility.

One of the newest features of CQUniversity Rockhampton's new campus library is now ready for use.

As of Term 2, students will be able to begin using the Collaborative Learning Spaces, which include a range of new and existing technologies.

Over 80 CQUniversity senior staff leaders gathered at Bundaberg campus recently for its annual Senior Leadership Conference, which ran from Wednesday to Friday last week. 

It was the university's fourth Senior Leadership Conference, and the first to be held in Bundaberg.

The Mackay music community will have the chance to farewell well-known local musician and CQUniversity lecturer Kim Kirkman in his final performance with the Mackay Choral Society.

Kim will relocate to Maleny, near the Sunshine Coast, in August.

CQUniversity Mackay will host an Orientation Day for mid-term students on Saturday, June 30 at the campus on Boundary Road, Ooralea.

Information sessions for students enrolled in a wide range of courses including nursing and midwifery, commerce and law, education, engineering, medical and applied sciences, creative and performing arts and more will be held.

Mackay's long standing community theatre company will collaborate with CQUniversity this year as they look to ignite the flame of local arts in the region.

Late last year the Kucom Theatre Company sold its renowned theatre, which was transformed from a Queenslander house on Shakespeare Street into a humble theatre in the 1970s, leaving them without rehearsal or production space following their last performance in 2011.

Gender equality is an ever-present issue in many arenas, but for CQUniversity's Dr Roslyn Cameron its importance is also highly economical.

Gladstone-based Dr Cameron is part of a team spearheading a research project into how manufacturing, construction and resource industries can improve their attraction, training and retention of female workers, primarily in the Gladstone region.

Today was the day for CQUniversity's final year Engineering students to be recognised for their efforts and hard work over the last four and a half years..
