CQUniversity student Briana Ives had an encouraging turnout recently when she took on the role as event coordinator for the Open Day at the Central Queensland Materials Recovery Facility (CQMRF) in Parkhurst, Rockhampton...

Briana's assessment for her Communications Project A subject called for a communications and promotion strategy for National Recycling Week, and the Open Day became the highlight of her project. The CQ MRF Open Day involved months of planning and preparations.

When not studying for her degree, Briana works for the CQ Local Government Association educating primary school children about recycling. This project allowed Briana to develop new skills in event management, an area that she is very interested in.
