With just over five months until the official December 10 centenary milestone, planning for The University of Queensland’s centenary celebrations is well underway.
The University will hold a “Community on Campus” day on April 18, 2010.
Past students and staff will have an opportunity to reconnect and reminisce with old friends during the alumni reunion weekend planned for July 2, 3 and 4, 2010.
Current staff, students and the wider community can also look forward to various other activities throughout the year.
UQ Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Greenfield considers the events to be both a celebration of individuals and teams making outstanding contributions to society, and a platform for a second century of high-impact learning, discovery and engagement.
“From a cancer vaccine and new generation jet engine technology, through to an Oscar-winning actor and umpteen fine works of literature, UQ’s first century is characterised by remarkable contributions to the Queensland, national and international communities,” Professor Greenfield said.
