2012 Open Day
On Sunday August 19, 2012 we opened our doors to prospective students and their friends and families for our annual Open Day.
Staff and students were on hand to talk about courses across the campus’s five faculties. There were campus tours as well as information sessions on youth allowance, accommodation, mature age study, scholarships, and what it’s like to live in Bendigo.
Our 2013 Open Day will be held on Sunday, 18 August. If you’re interested in attending, register for updates here.
2012 Orientation Week
Orientation Week is a vital part of making the transition to University life. In 2012, our new students spent their first week on campus meeting their Connect Mentors, sorting out timetables, discovering the Library and making new friends.
The week also involved campus and faculty tours to help new students get their bearings, along with academic skills sessions on topics such as referencing, research and writing skills.
Our 2013 Orientation Week runs from Monday 25 February to Friday 1 March. Check our new students site for details.
2012 Sir John Quick Lecture
The annual Sir John Quick Lecture is presented with the support of the Sir John Quick Committee and the City of Greater Bendigo.
Sir John Quick was awarded a knighthood in 1901 for his work for Australian Federation. He was also Bendigo's first Federal MP, holding the seat until 1913.
In 2012, former Bendigo Art Gallery Board President John Higgs talked with Tony Ellwood and Karen Quinlan in a session that gave a fascinating insight into the role of the regional gallery.
Mr Ellwood and Ms Quinlan discussed the key influences and drivers that guided their careers, and looked towards opportunities on the horizon.

2011 Worner Research Lecture
Professor Jane Farmer presented the 2011 Worner Research Lecture on behalf of the Faculty of Health Sciences.
Using her extensive knowledge and experience in rural health the world over, Professor Farmer presented 'Rural Health: why we've not solved it and ways we might’ [available on Lectopia] to an engaged and knowledgeable audience.
Having moved to Bendigo after working in Scotland for a great part of her academic career, Professor Farmer's take on the definition of rural, remote and regional health was particularly interesting. She suggested education and local partnerships are crucial to meeting the needs of health and health services in rural areas.
