 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.

CAMPUS DEVELOPMENTS
|
 There are a number of developments on campus which may be impacting on students and visitors alike.
Construction has now begun on the extension to the Legal Skills building that also includes Bond College and BUELI, with work expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Security fencing around the existing building and proposed footprint for the extension has now been installed, meaning a number of existing car spaces have been forfeited. While staff with permanent parking within the area will have been offered replacement parking, the University is also creating new angle parking bays around Ring Road to offset the loss of parking within the Legal Skills precinct.
The University acknowledges the inconvenience this may be causing to staff and students, and asks for cooperation and patience during these essential works which will ultimately deliver further amenities to the University community.
Visit the Main Library to view the exciting final plans for the extension.
In other developments, the University Council has agreed to sell its Australia Post licence with a new and comprehensive Post Office being located at the Varsity Lakes precinct.
As part of the agreement, the University will retain its own postcode and mail box on campus and the Bookshop will continue to sell postage stamps and envelopes. |

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.
