CQUniversity Australia has given those looking to advance their career in the tourism industry a significant boost on the Sunshine Coast.

Senior Lecturer in Tourism Steve Noakes will be joining Dr Scott Richardson, Head of Program for Tourism at the Noosa campus from June to deliver a world class study experience for tourism industry hopefuls.

Thinking green and being eco-smart was the theme of the day at North Rockhampton's Yewdale Park last week.

CQUniversity was a major presenter at the Green Expo, held as part of this year's World Environment Day celebrations on Tuesday, June 5.

CQUniversity's Wayne Jones was recently recognised for 25 years of service to the Queensland Law Society in a ceremony at Rockhampton's Plaza Hotel.

Central Queensland's next generation of engineering hopefuls will be able to get a full taste of life as an engineering student at this month's Engineering Link Project, held at CQUniversity Rockhampton from June 26 - 28.

Founded by the Engineering Link Group in 1994, the Project, more commonly known as EngLink, will give current year 11 and 12 students the chance to participate in three days of engineering activities such as building model retaining walls, workshops, and talks from CQUniversity academics and key industry representatives.

CQUniversity's Associate Professor Peter Reaburn was on hand at cycling store Giant Rockhampton today to present a cheque for $1200 to the Rockhampton Sporting Wheelies Association.

The money was raised from last year's Bike4Life event, of which CQUniversity was a major sponsor.

Some dread going to libraries, unaware of who to ask for help or where to look for information.

Fortunately this is not the case for CQUniversity's library, a recent survey highlighting its success in meeting student needs.

Members of Queensland's Opposition chose CQUniversity as the venue for their Shadow Cabinet meeting this week..

The Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research will host a free research seminar which will assess the debates regarding men's and women's domestic violence experiences.
