Last week, we released The Queensland Commitment Roadmap, detailing 58 strategic actions UQ will take to achieve equitable access to education by 2032. The roadmap clearly defines how we will continue to work in partnership with government, communities and donors to make this a reality.
Congratulations to our 15 Minute Challenge champions. 548 UQ staff, including 81 teams, took part in this year’s 15 Minute Challenge – a 6-week competition promoting daily exercise. The team Slimming Gang (pictured) from QAAFI and IMB took out first place, with a phenomenal average of 3,308 minutes exercise per team member. BELInternational (from the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law) came second, followed by ITS Flex Force (Information Technology Services) in third, and MUScle MUSCULUS (UQ Biological Resources) in fourth. There were also multiple individual award winners.
The UQ Awards for Excellence in Graduate Research Training celebrate the achievements and initiatives of UQ HDR advisors. If you know an outstanding adviser, nominate them for one of the 4 categories – Supervision, Leadership, Industry Engagement, and Programs and Support – before Tuesday 7 May.
Be part of one of UQ’s proudest traditions by running in the Great Court Race on Wednesday 15 May. Nominations are now open for all races, including the Staff Relay. All entrants need to participate in a time trial to gain entry to their selected event. Time trials will be held at the UQ Sport Athletics Centre on Thursday 2 May. Gather a team of your colleagues to be part of the race that stops UQ.
