Golden Key chapter keen to grow 

The CQUniversity chapter of the Golden Key International Honour Society* is keen to grow its active membership ranks and plans several events in 2010...

Chapter president Louise Hayes** said Golden Key members helped collect donations for the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal at the end of last year. LINK HERE for details

More recently (Jan 28-30), a contingent of 8 CQUniversity students from our Mackay, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Gladstone and Sydney campuses attended Golden Key's Asia-Pacific Conference 2010 'Taking the Next Step' hosted by the University of Techology, Sydney, where keynote speakers included Gruen Transfer regular Todd Sampson and Mao's Last Dancer subject Li Cunxin, just to name a few. Our chapter was awarded a certificate of recognition for achieving 'good standing' in 2009. Other notable speakers and presenters
