 I had the great pleasure of attending the graduation of our inaugural cohort of medicine students on Saturday, in what was a truly wonderful event. After four years and eight months of hard work, our first graduates are brilliantly prepared and eager to contribute to providing first class medical services to the community.
The graduation of our first doctors is one of many milestones that Bond University has achieved over the past year – a year in which we celebrated our 20th anniversary. | |

MANAGING MAYHEM IN SPORT
|
 According to Bond University’s Assistant Professor of Sports Psychology, Dr Clive Jones, sports administrators need to place a stronger focus on achieving a life balance among elite athletes - whom often share ‘narcissistic’ personality traits - to help minimise the chance of well-publicised off-field indiscretions.
