Since the Scholarship was established in 2009, it has motivated our PR/Communication students to strive for excellence in academic work and to pursue a career in public relations and communications. We see its continuance as a tribute to the performance of our students who have been its previous recipients, including 2014 recipient Natassja Bertram, who attended and spoke to about her experience with the Scholarship. Natassja now works in the Advancement office at UQ.

 

This year, the School along with Cole Lawson Communications unveiled an honour board, that will be mounted in pride of place in the Joyce Ackroyd Building.
