Amateur foodies invited to cook up a storm in Big Cake Bake
Published on 22 August, 2012

Elliot Jennings and Kati Norman will combine their creativity and love of baking when they head up the first ever CQUni Big Cake Bake - and they are seeking community support.

They are calling on members of the public to help out by baking their favourite treats and bringing them along to the Big Cake Bake on Monday, August 27.

Professor Jennelle Kyd is set to leave on a high note at the end of August after seven years in leadership roles at CQUniversity.

She's heading south to become Swinburne University's new Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, a role she will take up in September.

The Teys Australia hide processing plant at Murgon has welcomed CQUniversity's expertise in reducing the sodicity (a form of salinity) of water from the plant, before it goes into a recycling process for irrigation..

CQUniversity's Engineering Precinct on Rockhampton Campus has won a Master Builders Central Queensland Housing and Construction Award, in the 'Refurbishment/Renovation over $5 million' category. The award went to builder Paynter Dixon.

The profession of Nursing is becoming increasingly complex, with extra technology and internet knowledge converging with an increased incidence of chronic illness within an aging population.

That's according to CQUniversity's newly promoted Professor Melanie Birks, who says the profession has also experienced changes internally with the establishment of a national regulatory authority.

Anne Guthrie arrived bright and early for her occupational therapy appointment at Rockhampton's new Allied Health Clinic, located at CQUniversity. As workers put the finishing touches on some external features, she was welcomed as the 'first client' for the facility.

Health Workforce Australia CEO Mark Cormack has enjoyed a sneak peek at the region's new multi-purpose Allied Health Clinic, currently in the final stages of construction at CQUniversity Rockhampton..

Education staff from across six campuses met recently in Bundaberg for three days of planning meetings.

Dean of Education Professor Helen Huntly said this was a 'terrific opportunity' for colleagues who normally work at a distance to work and socialise together.

Almost one out of every five Queenslanders has a disability, so CQUniversity Bundaberg is helping to host an Options Day, encouraging prospective students and disability sector organisations to consider further education.

The event will be held between 11am-2.
