Five random essentials to stay connected

Posted by Aditi on 20 July, 2018

If you have attended the orientation sessions, I am sure you would have gained a good amount of knowledge about what QUT has to offer. Nonetheless, let me give you a little more insight according to my experience.

News: I am finally heading to my last semester in July. I am excited and sad at the same time because my journey is soon going to be over. Nevertheless, spending three semesters entitles me to suggest a few random essentials that I have learned by myself (so proud) because I do have a curious mind.

Just a heads up, my main campus has been Gardens Point. Therefore, my analysis is on the basis of my GP experience. So, let’s jump into it.

BAA Scholarship – Well worth applying!

Posted by Madeleine on 21 June, 2018

This year I was incredibly honoured to be awarded the Brisbane Advertising Association Scholarship for Excellence in Advertising. I do admit, for a long time before applications closed, it was my Mum nagging me to put something together because even if I didn’t win, it was worth the shot. And I am so glad I listened to her!

The best city you’ve never heard of

Posted by Chris on 1 June, 2018

In the last few days of 2017, I embarked on what would be the experience of a lifetime. After saying goodbye with mixed emotions and spending over 24 hours travelling, I finally arrived in the city that would become my home for the next 6 months – Rotterdam. The first thing you notice when you step off a plane on the other side of the world is that the weather is the complete opposite. No matter how prepared I thought I was, coming from 35C summer days in Brisbane to a Dutch winter which hovers just above the 0C mark was a shock. Fortunately, this weather did not last the entire six months, and seeing the temperature gradually warm into a Dutch summer was something special.

Gather around, gather around!

For the low price of four minutes of your life, I offer you backstage access to the hottest party in town. Yes, yes, you guessed right, Myriad. “How?” You may ask, good sir. Through my Myriad mate eyes. Now that I’ve lured you in with my miracle – insert product – pitch, let me start from the beginning and tell you how I became a #MyriadMate, and got into the position of nominating myself to write this blog.

BrisMUN ’18 was an absolute blast!

Posted by Swarali on 14 May, 2018

It has been over a month since the Brisbane Model United Nations (MUN) Conference 2018, but it still feels like yesterday! As someone who does not participate a lot in university activities, I was very hesitant to join at first after hearing about it at a Business Advantage Entrepreneurship session. However, I thought it would enhance my international business acumen as part of my degree, so I went for it! It did exactly that and so, so much more!

How QUTopia shaped my business …

You may never think a semester at university can shape your future, but I’m here to tell you – it’s possible!

Texas A and M University

Posted by Isabella on 16 April, 2018

I don’t even know where to start with my time at A&M but to summarise it in one phrase, I’ve had the best year of my life. Its hard to believe that almost nine months ago I boarded my flight to LAX; to say time has flown by is an understatement. I joined two organisations, which was probably one of the best decisions I made and I wouldn’t have half the time I had if I wasn’t apart of them. International Business Association allowed me to meet other exchange students in the Mays Business School, which was really helpful at the start when I first arrived because I had other people to relate to. I also joined a sophomore leadership organisation called Slide and we had a strong presence on campus promoting sexual assault awareness and mental health.

Posted by Olivia on 3 April, 2018

For the last two months, I’ve been living and working in Orlando, Florida at the most magical place on earth – Walt Disney World. Now that I’ve completed all my training and have had a bit of time to settle into my role, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my experience so far.

Happy International Women’s Day

Posted by Ujwala on 8 March, 2018

I’ve been in Brisbane for over a month and have witnessed and interacted with women across different cultures and ages. I’ve heard them talk about their careers in workshops and seminars, seen some juggling parenthood and studies, read about some successful entrepreneurs and their new ventures.
