Marketing student Devon enjoying exchange in England 

CQUniversity Marketing student Devon Holloway hopes to develop her career to get involved with issues-based campaigns, tackling big picture problems including poverty, hunger and human trafficking.

The Rockhampton Campus student is broadening her horizons in the shorter term too, as she's been enjoying an exchange program to the University of Bradford.

Devon has been travelling with Psychology student Veronica Duthie, who was also accepted for the exchange program.

"I'm taking one business course, Consumer Behaviour, and two electives, Introduction to Peace Studies and Videography. All of these count towards my degree here at CQUniversity," Devon said.

"The campus is great, there's always something going on and there are heaps of societies to be involved in. The people have been amazing. Those I've met have made this place wonderful."

Born in South Africa, Devon came to Australia with her family as a child and now considers Rocky her home town.

She says she has enjoyed most of her Marketing courses at CQUniversity as well as related subjects organisational behaviour, desktop publishing and photomedia.
