In the works

Have a look at what our current Engagement (Activities) Industry Scholar has been working on!

Levon Rush (Engagement, Activities Scholar)

Since starting my Industry Scholarship I’ve helped to revamp student nights at the Bar on the Hill and “kicked off” a FIFA Comp in the Godfrey Tanner Bar. I’ve also been working on a bigger and better Uni Band Comp and an all new Uni DJ Competition for 2013. All the work I’ve been doing through the scholarship has given me a chance to positively contribute to student life but more importantly, given me invaluable industry experience which will no doubt help me along in my studies and onto working life.
