 As I hope you are all aware, Bond will be audited by the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) during 12-15 April 2010. Whilst such audits are required by the legislation under which we operate, we actually welcome them as they allow us to prove that our standards are what we say they are and they help us identify areas where we can be even better.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOLADES
|
 This month we congratulate Professor of Marketing Sudhir Kale on his appointment as external researcher for The China Centre for Lottery Studies at the University of Peking. We also recognise the efforts of our talented Jessup team members: James Graham, Tom Harrison, Katherine Mansted, Henry Norris and Kate Allan.
The China Centre for Lottery Studies at the University of Peking has honoured Professor Sudhir Kale (pictured above, centre), appointing him external researcher for a period of three years, in recognition of his contribution to gaming research over the last decade. Professor Kale has published over seventy gaming-related articles and was a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Gaming and Public Welfare held in Macau in December 2009. He is currently working on two large research grants from Gambling Research Australia and the Department of Justice, Government of Victoria. His contributions to the gaming industry by way of publications, seminars, and consulting have earned him a place among the very top gaming professionals in the world.
Well done also to our Jessup Team, who recently competed in the National Jessup mooting competition - regarded worldwide as the most prestigious mooting competition for law students. James, Tom, Katherine, Henry and Kate put in a tremendous performance, reaching the semi-finals where they were knocked out by the University of Western Australia, who went on to win. The team was awarded prizes for Best Applicant Memorials and Best Overall Memorials. Team member James Graham thanked the University for its support saying "It has driven us to make it as far as we did and for that we are grateful. The spirit of Jessup is still very alive at Bond and I am sure we will continue to shine for many years to come."
