Who would have thought the humble ‘turpentine’ mango could look like this? Arthur ‘Nobby’ Clark, a Bundaberg wood carver, has transformed unused timber from discarded mango trees into a rich tapestry of glowing marine life – you can almost feel them move.

Central Queensland University’s Careers and Employment Service is promoting partnerships with industry in Gladstone to secure casual paid employment for enrolled CQU students on the Gladstone Campus.

Central Queensland University will produce work-ready IT graduates from the recently launched Bachelor of Information Technology Co-operative program – the BIT (Co-op).

How would you rate your EQ? Emotional Intelligence that is.

According to Olive Mallory of CQU Student Services, current research suggests that not only is your IQ permanently set by a certain age, but it’s your EQ that helps you achieve so called “success” in your life and career and that EQ can be learned and enhanced over time.

CQU staff and students have contributed many of the entries in this week's Rocky Fringe Short Film Competition and Festival.
