About
200 Swinburne University students were recognised for their academic
achievements on April 28th 2017, when they were inducted
as members of the Golden Key International Honour Society.
The
Swinburne University chapter of Golden Key was established in 2006.
Since then the chapter has inducted about 4000 members through their
annual New Member Reception.
This
year the official officiators were:
-
Professor Duncan Bentley: Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)

Prof. Glen Bates: PVC Student Advancement and Chapter Advisor
-
Sunnefa Penning: University Relations Officer, Golden Key Asia-Pacific
-
Kevin Tuyau: Chapter President, Swinburne Chapter
-
Justine Hall: Chapter Vice President, Swinburne Chapter
Each
year the chapter nominates honorary members from the community, based
on their demonstration of the three pillars of Golden Key; Academics,
Leadership and Service. This year the chapter inducted:
-
Professor Duncan Bentley: Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic).
-
Dr Ann Mitsis: Lecturer and Faculty of Business and Enterprise’s Honours Coordinator at Swinburne university.
-
Mat Bartnik: Associate Dean of Student Communication at Swinburne University.
Also
acknowledged at the New Member Reception was the Golden Key Swinburne
chapter committee of 2015. Throughout the year the committee has
organised many events for both members and Swinburne students alike.
This includes networking events, career development events and this
year's Asia-Pacific Golden Key regional conference. Chapter members
also assisted the community through the chapter's volunteering
programs.
“I
joined Golden Key in 2014, and it is one of the best investments in
my future that I ever made”. University Relations Officer Sunnefa
Penning said. “To all the new members tonight, I hope you will
embrace the opportunities that are now open to you. Get involved:
apply for scholarships, come along to events, and get to know the
incredible and inspiring people that make the Society what it is”.
After
receiving their certificates, members had the chance to socialise,
ask questions and take a professional photo with their certificate.
They were also provided with light refreshments.
