QUT Golden Key’s first corporate event for the year, the Corporate Wine and Cheese Appreciation Night, was a great success! Students and corporate representatives were chatting together with ease, discussing study and the workplace with enthusiasm. After talking to a varied range of students, from science to creative industries, I had a lengthy discussion with a few law and business corporate representatives. It was fascinating to hear about the ‘real world’ and to meet kind and encouraging mentors.
After delicious nibbles and a well-appreciated bar tab, it was time for our esteemed guest, the Honourable Justice Ian Callinan AC (former Justice of the High Court of Australia), to speak. It was refreshing to hear him strongly advocate immersing yourself in literature, particularly as a law student. He mentioned that his interest in the creative field, as a writer, had an interesting and beneficial influence on his career. It inspired me to go home and pick up a book!
Overall, the event was stimulating and educational. Meeting corporate representatives and students from a diverse range of faculties was a welcome and enjoyable eye-opener to the professional world.
