Join Global Connect Now!

23 Mar 2016

As a student in the School of Journalism and Communcation, you are eligible to join Global Connect (GC).

Global Connect (GC) is a student initiative with members from all over the world with the same goals: education, friendship and cultural exchange. GC can be a one-stop guide about surviving in university, or it could be more: learning about different ways of life across the globe, networking with potential future leaders, a character-building experience to last a lifetime.

Launched on 9 October 2008 by the School of Journalism and Communication in the University of Queensland (UQ), GC provides forward-looking students with a platform to network globally. UQ is the first and only university to launch such a concept.

With the advent of technology, a world without borders is what students today will be entering upon graduation. Our objectives are to equip students with a keen understanding of different cultures and international affairs, and the means to distinguishing oneself amidst a highly globalised, competitive economy.

“We may have different religions, different languages...but we all belong to one human race.” - Kofi Annan
