Mr Millar recently won an international award from Microsoft known as a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award.

While there are a range of MVPs for various Microsoft technologies in Australia, Mr Millar is the only Australian awardee in his category and one of only 19 currently in the world.

"Shortly after graduation, I fly to San Diego to deliver a keynote address at PowerPoint Live," he said.

Mr Millar has built a Powerpoint tutorial website, is active in online user groups and helped Beta-test the latest Microsoft software.

Microsoft has previously invited him to speak at conferences in Tuscon (2003) and Seattle (April, 2004).

Mr Millar will graduate this Saturday with a Bachelor of Science (Biology).
