Rockhampton women met this week (Dec 10) at CQUniversity Rockhampton for a Christmas-themed Regional Womens Networking Event.

CQUniversity was proud to sponsor the event which encourages regional women to reach their potential by providing opportunities to network and build relationships.

CQUniversity's Professor Denis Cryle has been pleased with the level of interest since the official launch of his new book: Murdoch's Flagship -  Twenty-Five Years of the Australian newspaper (1964-1989).

The book was launched recently (Dec 4) at our Sydney International Campus in conjunction with Melbourne University Press and the Centre for Media History at Macquarie University.

Professor Bob Miles may be leaving CQUniversity at the end of the year but he has acknowledged he is "going from the frying pan to the fire" in terms of work commitments.

He will continue to be based in Rockhampton, while travelling for various projects.

As part of the ongoing review of CQUniversity structures and activities which has been progressively occurring over the past 2 years, the University has advised staff who are associated with producing printed material for student programs, along with their representatives, that due to the very significant move to online electronic material, that there is a need to consult on the way forward.

The challenge facing the University is highlighted by the fact that the its printing requirements have declined more than 50% in the past 3 years, the printing equipment is aged and requires replacing and there is a need for a significant and costly modernisation of facilities.
