CQUniversity's Film and Arts Mackay (FAM) will hold their monthly film night on Friday, April 5 at 7.30pm the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music (CQCM).

CQUniversity has signed an agreement with Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies to expand research with growers of dry land rice.

Late last year, Rockhampton Campus hosted AACT delegates along with Chinese-based New Margin Ventures and its local investment partner DG Global Group.

CQUniversity has been helping to take the pulse of the regional health system by hosting three 'liveWELL CQ' feedback sessions on behalf of the Central Queensland Primary Care Partnership (CQPCP).

The Q&A sessions held at the Central Queensland Innovation and Research Precinct (CQIRP) across from CQUniversity Rockhampton Campus have been designed to stimulate ideas, encourage dialogue and cultivate actions.

CQUniversity Gladstone staff, students and family members embraced the Harbour Festival parade circus theme as a chance to promote the University's 35th anniversary of operations in the city..

The CQUniversity community put their thinking caps on for a night of trivia at the Mackay campus recently, to support the Mackay Student Social Club and the Mackay Library Society.

Around 60 students, staff and community members took part in the trivia, with some baffling questions thrown in for good measure - thanks to Academic Learning Centre lecturer Frank Armstrong.

One of the artists who volunteered to become sleep deprived over a seven-day period - as an experiment into the effects of fatigue on the creative process - has just published a short story.

Following the challenge from the Australian Network for Art & Technology, best-selling author Sean Williams has published Death and the Hobbyist on the project's website.

CQUniversity students in the Emerald region have benefited greatly from attending academic workshops at the Emerald Learning Centre under the direction of Nursing and Midwifery lecturer Teresa Sander.

"Distance education is often the best option for people who are looking for flexibility," Teresa said, "and we need to ensure all of our students, both internal and distance, can reach their potential by providing academic assistance for them.

What started as a series of women's networking breakfasts on campus has morphed into a book celebrating Inspirational Women of Capricornia.

CQUniversity's former Academic Registrar Barbara Lawrence took the initiative to organise the breakfasts and encouraged the featured speakers to lend their stories for the book, which includes photography by Peter Lawrence and cover design by Christopher Lawrence.

CQUniversity Mackay has welcomed the campus' first multi-faith chaplain, in an effort to ensure students are better supported in their learning journey.

Reverend Renier Van Der Klashorst (better known as ‘Reno' among the students) will spend two days each week looking after the spiritual and emotional needs of students and staff.
