Samson delighted to win trip to Fiji, eyes UK prize too
Published on 31 May, 2011
Occupational Health & Safety student Michelle Samson recently enjoyed a holiday in Fiji, thanks to being chosen as a finalist in a competition run by CQUni Student Association in conjunction with myOE UK*.
The competition was open to all university students from Australia and New Zealand and offered a trip to the UK based on a 100-word application, with finalists gathering in Fiji in the last week of May to compete for the big prize. Details are via www.myoe.com/freeoe .
Michelle, who lives on Phillip Island near Melbourne while she works at the Wonthaggi Desalination Project, says she enjoyed escaping the Victorian cold snap while meeting other students.
"It was a great trip and I met so many inspirational students - well worth it! CQUni should really promote this comp next year as it's a great experience and it's all free!" Michelle said.
It's been a big year already for Michelle as she also won a Gladstone Regional Council Natural Disaster Resilience Scholarship, which involves developing social media communication tools to relay information in the event of a natural disaster.
