KUCHING: Swimburne University of Technology Sarawak’s campus recently received a visit by vice-chancellor and president Professor Pascale Quester from Melbourne, Australia.
Accompanying Quester on her inaugural visit were Swinburne deputy vice-chancellor (Research) Professor Karen Hapgood, pro vice-chancellor (Global Engagement) Dr Douglas Proctor and Victoria’s Commissioner to Southeast Asia Rebecca Hall.
At a town hall session here, Quester shared her inspiring remarks with the staff of Swinburne Sarawak.
The delegation was also taken on a tour around the campus, including the highly anticipated upgraded facilities such as the Student Village.
They were also shown around The Hive Design Studio, Student Central, the library, and other areas of the university. The visit was a great opportunity for fruitful discussions between the executive group members of both Swinburne campuses.
On August 30, the delegation also attended Swinburne Sarawak’s graduation ceremony at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) and Swinburne Sarawak’s Alumni and Partners Appreciation Dinner held at The Sarawak Club.
“How exciting it is to be physically here at Swinburne Sarawak after seeing photos, hearing about the operations, and witnessing the 20th anniversary celebration online. It is fabulous to see Kuching; it is an absolute marvel of a place.
“It has also been great meeting the community here, seeing the facilities that are being designed and built for the students, and meeting with the staff.
“It’s been fabulous because it actually feels like being back together with family that you haven’t been able to visit for two years,” she said.
