Enterprise breakfast inspires students
‘‘ OUR ROLE AS A UNIVERSITY IS TO PROVIDE YOUR STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, SUCH AS LEADERSHIP, PROBLEM-SOLVING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS, TO BE JOB READY ON COMPLETION OF THEIR DEGREE. PROFESSOR PETER MURRAY
THE University of Southern Queensland hosted an enterprise breakfast earlier this month to showcase what it had to offer to high school principals and students.
The event was held March 2 at the Tapestry Bar.
The event provided an opportunity for high-school representatives to learn more about USQ’s programs and study areas, as well as increase their industry and professional connections.
The Enterprise Breakfast saw 15 high schools represented to hear specifically about USQ’s School of Management and Enterprise, School of Commerce, and School of Law and Justice.
Head of School (Management and Enterprise) Professor Peter Murray said the breakfast gave an insight into possible study areas, and future professions, that the high school students could choose when they graduate.
“Our role as a university is to provide your students with the knowledge and skills, such as leadership, problem-solving and communication skills, to be job ready on completion of their degree,” Professor Murray said.
The audience heard from USQ alumni Angus Murray from Irish Bently Lawyers, Amanda Kenafake the CEO of Power Tynan and Naomi Wilson from Focus HR.
Representatives from each of USQ Schools also addressed the gathering – Associate Professor Caroline Hart (School of Law and Justice), Associate Professor Peter Phillips (School of Commerce) and Dr Kim Southey (School of Management & Enterprise).
