 It is truly wonderful to see the recognition that our University has received over the last few years, and is continuing to receive, as demonstrated not only by the doubling of student numbers over the last six years but also in the form of donated scholarships, gifts for specific purposes and Government grants. The dollar value of these grants and donations has been in excess of $32 million.

CHINESE AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA VISITS BOND
|
 Earlier this month, the Tim Fischer Centre for Global Trade and Finance and The Faculty of Law hosted His Excellency ZHANG Junsai, the Ambassador of The People’s Republic of China to Australia as he presented a distinguished lecture on ‘China-Australia Economic and Investment Co-operation and Bilateral Relations’.
The lecture, attended by over 80 guests, provided great insight into the tremendous growth that China has experienced in recent times and demonstrated the complex and integrated approach that both countries take with respect to bilateral relations and investment.
His Excellency was joined by his wife, Madam YIN, Consul General REN Gongping and Consul PAN Yonglu who were all extremely impressed by Bond’s campus, staff and our interest in China.
The Ambassador made the trip from Canberra to Bond specifically to deliver his lecture at the invitation of the Tim Fisher Centre for Global Trade and Finance, which was founded in 2000 to serve as an interdisciplinary research centre and think tank on global trade and finance issues. |

CAMERON'S MONKEY BUSINESS AT TROPFEST
 Film and Television Alumnus Cameron Edser admits being presented second prize by Toni Collette at the Movie Extra Tropfest Final is “all a bit of a blur”.
“All I know, from watching the replay, is that I had the biggest grin I’ve ever seen on my face. I guess I was pretty happy!” Edser said.
And happy he should be. Scooping second prize at the world’s largest short film festival has catapulted Edser and his Co-Director Michael Richards into the spotlight.
“Already we’re starting to see doors opening for us. Overnight we went from relative unknowns to, well, not famous, but significantly more prominent within the film industry,” he said.
