Women, the Hon. Karen Struthers MP, at the
Our Women Our State Awards |
The project team of GO Women in Engineering, Science and Technology (Go WEST) celebrated the conclusion of a highly-successful year with colleagues, students and community members on December 11.
USQ female staff and students in the discipline areas of Engineering, Science (including Mathematics) and Technology were invited to the event. Local professionals and educators also attended, including participants in the 2009 inaugural Best of the WEST awards.
Technology researcher Kayleen Bromley spoke on the experience of presenting her research paper "Strengthening Farmers Through the Camera's Eye" to the National Men’s Health Conference earlier this year.
Go WEST sponsored Kayleen to attend this conference, which was based in Newcastle.
Go WEST provides support for University staff, students and community educators and professionals in areas where women are traditionally under-represented.
The team’s success has been recognised and honoured recently in the Queensland Government - Our Women, Our State Awards - and the USQ Equal Opportunity for Women Achievement Award.
