Looking around the Conrad Jupiters Casino Ballroom during our 20th Anniversary Ball on May 16, I was humbled to see so many of the past and present people who have made a contribution to our wonderful University celebrating such an important milestone. The fact several hundred alumni travelled from all over the world is testament to the lasting impression Bond has had on our graduates. While recognition of our high quality programs and world class academics can be measured by the steady increase in enrolments, it’s still most satisfying to know that studying at Bond is not just a means to an end, it was indeed a life experience for our graduates. | |

 Mixing family and business can be a challenge in itself, dealing with siblings and technologically-challenged parents.
And when times turn tough, family-run operations can be affected differently to non-family businesses.
