Central Queensland University graduates will have their chance to comment on the future development of the Gladstone campus at an Alumni workshop and social function on Saturday 13 July.

The workshop will be the first in a series of consultations with the local community to begin scoping a Strategic Plan (2003 – 2008) for the next stage in the development of the campus.

Gladstone Head of Campus, Associate Professor Robert Prater, said that over 700 CQU graduates currently reside in the Gladstone region.

“These graduates now occupy many key roles in the local community and workforce.

Mr Prater said that the graduates would spend some time considering the future of CQU Gladstone followed by an opportunity to catch up with old class mates, talk to staff and talk about activities and events on campus.

A tour of the campus will also be conducted prior to the workshop this will include an opportunity to visit the newly completed PELM research facility.

Any CQU graduates currently residing in Gladstone who would like to attend the workshop and social function should contact Shannon on 4970 7247.
