Best of the WEST Awards

The Best of the WEST awards are proudly sponsored by the University of Southern Queensland (USQ).

Within USQ, the GO WEST (Go Women in Engineering, Science and Technology) project team is coordinating the Awards to recognise and celebrate the achievement of outstanding women and girls who are leading in the fields of engineering, science, mathematics and technology, where females are traditionally under-represented.

The awards are open to USQ female staff and students as well as women and girls in Engineering, Science and Technology (SET) located in regional, rural and remote areas of Queensland.

The Best of the WEST awards will be presented by USQ Chancellor Ms Bobbie Brazil at USQ Toowoomba on Thursday 22 October 2009 at 3.30pm, followed by High Tea.
