The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) will host a visit by the High Commissioner for India, Her Excellency Sujatha Singh and Professor Sarva-Daman Singh, Honorary Consult for India in Queensland, on Thursday 7th August.

This is the first time Her Excellency and Professor Singh have visited USQ. They will tour parts of the Toowoomba campus and meet with students from India who are students at USQ.

'We have been working with India and the sub-continent for a number of years and we're now looking to grow the number of students and international collaboration with Indian institutions,' he said.

'Her Excellency will meet with students to learn of their experiences here in Toowoomba as part of the USQ family.'

The High Commissioner's program includes a tour of the water purifying testing area of the Hydrology Laboratories in the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying, a Distance Education demonstration and a meeting with Indian students.
