Golden Key Swinburne ran a stall on Club's Day (Semester 1, March 2017) in order to promote awareness of Golden Key. This included the benefits of being a member and Golden Key activities available to all students. To entice people to the stall, a Rubik's cube challenge took place. About 10 people participated in the challenge. Top times were placed on a whiteboard as an incentive for others participate in the challenge. The winner was Elenor Shields with a time of 29.02 seconds. The prize she received was a $20 gift voucher for Coles Group and Myer. Elenor also received a “congratulations greeting card, Golden Key pen and Golden Key bag.

Wine and Cheese Info Night 2017

Written by Kylie Goatl e y This year the Swinburne chapter did something a little bit different for their information session. Instead of holding 2 smaller sessions (day & night) we combined these into one evening session and provided Wine and Cheese for those that attended. We had over 50 attendees on the night, who were able to enjoy a glass of wine and some cheese and fruit while watching the presentations. Sunnefa, our University Relations Officer, kicked off the night with a global overview of Golden Key and how it can benefit you. This was followed by a presentation from our chapter president Kevin who discussed some of the past events that the committee has put on, and the future events we have planned. Thanks to those who came to the Cheese and Wine Info Night. Hope you found the event informative. If you were unable to attend you can access some handy FAQ's here - https://sites.google.com/goldenkey.org.au/apac/faqs http://goldenkeys
