Over 80 CQUniversity senior staff leaders gathered at Bundaberg campus recently for its annual Senior Leadership Conference, which ran from Wednesday to Friday last week. 

It was the university's fourth Senior Leadership Conference, and the first to be held in Bundaberg.

The Senior Leadership Conference brought together over 80 of CQUniversity's movers and shakers

The theme of the conference was 'Strong To Great', and investigated how CQUniversity can move from being a strong university to a great university by the year 2020.

Wednesday saw numerous guest speakers address attending staff, one of the highlights being Linda Brown from Swinburne University.

The conference gave staff the chance to workshop ideas to take CQUniversity from being 'strong' to 'great'.

One of the key ideas discussed concerns how the University can do more in the area of philanthropy and engagment, and explored how CQUniversity can use it's status as an engaged, inclusive university to make a difference, not only in the lives of local students, but in the lives of people the world over.

Brainstorming was a key activity at the Conference
