Centenary Oration Series

In 2010, The University of Queensland celebrated its Centenary. Amongst the special events arranged to commemorate this significant point in our history, a Centenary Oration Series was staged throughout the year.

The series drew distinguished and high profile orators, as well as enthusiastic audience members from business, industry, government, staff, students, the media and the general community. Their oration topics covered past, present and future issues, and achievements that have impacted on and will continue to impact on local, national and global communities.

In order of the date of their visit to the University, links to details of the orations for the nine speakers are provided below, where you also have the opportunity to read, listen to or view the Oration.
