CQUniversity graduates have been recognised throughout Queensland as category winners for regional events hosted by the Australian Institute of Management.

Seven of our Alumni have won categories at AIM events held in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, and Gladstone (incorporating Bundaberg area).

CQUniversity Associate Professor Mike Horsley was re-elected Vice President of the International Association for Research on Textbooks and Educational Media (IARTEM), at its biannual conference in Lithuania recently.

IARTEM is the peak international body in the field of textbooks and educational media research and development, with more than 160 active members from 35 countries.

A FREE public talk in Rockhampton will address the idea of going online to become more active, asking ‘Do Internet-delivered physical activity interventions really work?'

The presentation by CQUniversity's Dr Corneel Vandelanotte will be held from 6pm-7pm on Thursday November 3 at the Criterion Hotel function room.

Krissa keen to pass on 'street smarts' to next generation
Published on 17 October, 2011

Krissa Welfare spent her first year as a teenager living homeless on the Gold Coast, but she has since turned her life around and is keen to help future generations of young people learn to be confident, capable and independent.

The first positive step on Krissa's journey came when she gained a home with an 'independent flat program', sharing with other teens and guided by an adult carer.

Mackay's Kate Wilson is not the sort of person to wait around for opportunity to knock on her door. She's got a track record of making things happen.

Gladstone's Benita Pintus has cleared the first hurdle on her way to a medical career, after years working in the retail sector.

The mother-of-three was among 29 students who recently completed their STEPS preparatory course at CQUniversity Gladstone Campus, and she was one of seven students* to receive bursaries in the form of $100 bookshop vouchers.

CQUniversity has fared well on measures of student satisfaction and graduate salaries, compared with national results from the recently-released 2010 Beyond Graduation Survey (BGS) Report.

The BGS is a detailed investigation into the activities of graduates from Australian higher education institutions three years after the completion of their studies.

CQUniversity has teamed with a range of community organisations to host a 'Healthy Body Happy Mind' Expo this Friday (Oct 14), in conjunction with Mental Health Week.

From 1pm-5pm at the Rockhampton Campus amphitheatre area, there will be live entertainment, free lunch, service stalls, fun activities, belly dancing, free relaxation sessions and other attractions.

Teams of nursing students raced around a fun 'bedpan derby' obstacle course at Rockhampton Campus, requiring them to don medical gear, make a bed, collect a faecal stool and empty a urinary catheter, while dodging sabotage from other teams.

The 'green team' was judged the winner after a chaotic event, as their team member remembered to wash hands at the 'defecation stand' along the route.

Australia will be soon be better placed to learn lessons from accidents, whether they occur in aviation, traffic, rail or industrial settings..
