CQUniversity's new Singapore campus is up and running with the incorporation of the CQU Institute of Higher Learning Pte Ltd on March 9.

The new campus will build on the growth achieved by Melior International College and offer local and international students an even broader range of programs and support from the University.

CQUniversity welcomes the ‘wow factor' in a new artist's impression for the design of a Research Centre proposed as part of a resort redevelopment on Great Keppel Island, on the Southern Great Barrier Reef.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Scott Bowman says the University is looking forward to accessing world-class facilities on the island, east of the Capricorn Coast.

CQUniversity is adding a world-leading embryologist to its agricultural science team, complementing existing projects relating to precision livestock management and rural economics.

Professor Gábor Vajta will perform his laboratory work at specialised facilities belonging to Australian Reproductive Technologies at Mt Chalmers, near Rockhampton.

Will there be a fourth wave of migration from India to Australia? .

That was one of the key topics addressed by Executive Director of the International Education Association of Australia Phil Honeywood, in his role as guest speaker at the 2012 Dr Martand Joshi Lecture at CQUniversity Melbourne in late March.

CQUniversity PhD graduate Dr Rachel Franks has been invited as a panel presenter for the Sydney Writers' Festival during May this year.

Rachel wrote her thesis on class, gender and the ethics of murder in Australian crime fiction, supervised by CQUniversity academics Associate Professor Wally Woods and Dr Lynda Hawryluk.

Congratulations to CQUniversity Regional Recruitment Manager (South Asia) Deepa Mathews, who is based at Melbourne Campus, having migrated to Australia in 1991.

Deepa recently accepted an 'Outstanding Woman - Achievements in her Field' award from the Federation of Indian Women's Associations in Australia.

Jennifer Hickey has two reasons to smile.

Engineering educators travelled from as far afield as Mackay and Sydney to attend a FEED Workshop (Future Engineering Education Direction) held at the newly-refurbished Engineering buildings on CQUniversity Rockhampton Campus.

The workshop was run by Dr Llew Mann of Swinburne University, who is also Chair of this year's Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE) Annual Conference.
