Awards for Excellence

[Item posted: 12 May 2009]

The School of Business Awards for Academic Excellence were held on Wednesday 6 May 2009. Each year the award ceremony is conducted to recognise the achievements of the previous year’s students at all year levels and across all disciplines. Recipients are chosen by the discipline & program coordinators for each award based on academic merit.

Awards are sponsored by a number of local and industry businesses who recognise the standard at the School of Business and the importance of rewarding and promoting studies by our students. The School thanks our longstanding and new sponsors for their support, and looks forward to maintaining an ongoing relationship with these organisations.

The School of Business sincerely thanks its sponsors for their valuable continuing support of the Awards for Academic Excellence
