Toowoomba opportunities

There are a number of programs, roles and resources available that provide opportunities for you to become involved in leadership activities.

Student Representatives

There are Student Representative positions in our university committees that allow you to represent your fellow students, and to ensure that students are considered in decision making processes.

International student leaders

The International Student Leadership Program creates motivated and enthusiastic International Student Leaders to help new international students adjust to living and studying in Australia.

This volunteer program is open to applications from all USQ International Students and involves providing support to enhance the international student experience both at USQ and within the local Australian community.

Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors are current students who promote USQ and share their experiences with prospective students who will be considering career choices. Ambassadors are responsible for assisting with University recruitment activities including campus tours, general administrative tasks, University Open Days and visits to TAFEs and high schools (maybe even your own!)

Meet-up leaders

Meet–up is a flexible student-centred peer learning program offered on-campus and online. It provides opportunities and experiences for students to develop their academic learning skills and their understanding of course concepts in an informal peer-to-peer environment. Meet–Up sessions are led by trained student leaders who have previously done well in the course. If you would like more information about becoming a Meet-up student leader, please contact The Learning Centre.

Residential Colleges

Staying at the Residential Colleges provides a number of leadership opportunities for students, including taking on a position in the Collegiate Team or Resident Student Club.

The Collegiate Team is a group of residents employed by the each college to help students out with any difficulties they might have while living on college, whether academic, social or personal.

Each college has a Resident Student Club (RSC) of which all resident students are members. The running of the RSC is vested in a committee voted in by all members of the resident body. The RSC is responsible for organising sporting and informal social activities as well as representing students in discussions at committees.

Golden Key

Golden Key is an international honour society that connects members with global leadership programs, partnerships, awards and opportunities. The USQ chapter of Golden Key has over 1000 alumni and current student members.

Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce Future Leaders Program

Future Leaders is an initiative of the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce specifically aimed at the city’s younger business people. The group has their own board and networking events and focus on supporting the advancement of members professionally and personally.
