UQ graduates and industry representatives from south-east Asia were able to meet the Vice-Chancellor and other senior UQ representatives when they visited the region recently.

Between April 15-22, Professor Paul Greenfield met business partners, local education providers and alumni in Singapore and Vietnam, with acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) Professor Mick McManus hosting events in Malaysia.

The trip provided an opportunity to discuss current and potential university partnerships, explore commercial opportunities and host graduate celebrations in concert with local alumni chapters.

Malaysia

Over 100 guests attended an alumni and business reception at the Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on April 15. Professor McManus promoted key alumni developments for 2010, including UQ’s centenary celebrations, a new online community and the International Alumnus of the Year award.

At a luncheon earlier that day in the presence of the Australian High Commissioner Penny Williams, Datuk Dr Rosti Saruwono (winner of the 2007 UQ International Alumnus of the Year Award) was congratulated on his new appointment as Vice-Chancellor, Universiti Industri Selangor (UNISEL).

Singapore

More than 150 guests attended an alumni and business reception on April 18. The UQ Alumni Association of Singapore committee was introduced by the new chairman Dr Angelo Venardos who showed a presentation of the association’s current activities.

The Vice-Chancellor was also guest speaker at a Faculty of Business, Economics and Law graduate employment seminar, which explored strategies for surviving the current economic crisis. Participants included Stephen Tjoa, an executive director at KPMG Singapore, and Jerome Yeo, General Manager of TopCable Singapore.

Vietnam

Professor Greenfield hosted alumni receptions and education seminars in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in addition to meeting with partner institutions and government officials between April 20-22.

One of the highlights of the visit was the announcement of the five winners of the UQ Vietnam-Australia 35 Year Commemorative Research Higher Degree Scholarships.
