Expanding Links with Swinburne University

Recently, Past Presidents Ngaire Cannon and Ian Macfarlane joined me (Pres Gordon Cheyne) at Swinburne University of Technology for the annual presentation of Swinburne Leadership and Volunteer Awards. We were amazed to learn how many students are involved in volunteering for different community events, and that some students contribute up to 300 hours of volunteering in a year.

We welcomed this opportunity to chat with students and administrators, and to establish contacts for future events. At our last Masters Barbecue, we had two Swinburne students, Jenni and Yungh lending a helpful hand, so we hope to build upon this mutually beneficial relationship.
