Department of De Paul University, Chicago will be visiting the Gippsland Campus on Monday, December 11. The visitors will undertake a tour of the campus and accommodation, with a presentation from the Environmental staff of the School of Applied Sciences at the Gippsland Campus.

Making the Grade

Last week, Sport and Outdoor Recreation at the Gippsland Campus signed a contract with the Singapore Polytech and University to provide an eight-day Adventure Leadership Program. As a result, commencing today students from Singapore will be taught at the Gippsland Campus by both Sport and Outdoor Recreation staff and students. This is the first time this service has been offered, but if successful it could be expanded in the future.

Open subject

Next week is Change of Preference Week when secondary students have received ENTER scores and make a final decision about their tertiary courses. To assist students with the decision, the Gippsland Campus will be holding an information and advice session on Tuesday, December 17, from 3-6pm at the Faculty of Business & Economics Conference Room, Building 5N Northways Road, Churchill.
