Responsibilities
I lead the Development Team which role is to secure new and manage existing partnerships with a wide range of organisations and individuals who support CQUniversity.
During 2015, the Development and Alumni Relations Directorate worked closely with community partners who, through their generous support, enriched student experience across a wide range of programs. Valued scholarship donors and prize-giving partners recognised performance and created opportunities for many deserving students. Additional support from business, industry and the community benefited CQUniversity‘s education, research and service activities more directly through funding initiatives or purchasing equipment and resources for students
