Alumnus hosts retired American professor 

Published on 30 November, 2004 

CQU graduate Neville Tickner has been hosting an American professor he met while on exchange at Eastern Illinois University (EIU) in the late 1990s.

PhotoID:1850 CQU still has a current exchange agreement with EIU and we receive about three or four full-fee-paying study abroad students from there each year.

The now-retired Professor John Faust, an East Asian expert, has been hosted by the Tickner family during a visit to Central Queensland.

Professor Faust (pictured left), Mr Tickner (pictured centre) and Mrs Tickner dropped into CQU International recently for afternoon tea with Dean (International Programs) Professor Debbie Clayton (pictured right) and International Marketing Manager Gabrielle Rolan.

Mr Tickner is a CQU Arts graduate (BA 1998, (Hon) 1999) who has spent several years working towards a PhD in cultural studies. Two of his children are also CQU graduates.

He has also contributed to the history of Australian droving by producing a series of books called 'Last of the Packhorse Stockmen' (the second edition of which was printed at the CQU Printery).
