Hot Chocolate Networking July 2017

Written by Kevin Tuyau (Swinburne Chapter Vice President 2017) The Swinburne chapter hosted June's Golden Key Monthly Chocolate Networking Event. As always, the event was held at San Churro in the QV. Justine (Chapter President) and I (Chapter Vice President) were there to greet guests as they arrived. The event had a good turnout with Golden Key members from both the Swinburne chapter and Deakin chapter in attendance. Regular attendees, and those who had not been seen in a while, got the opportunity to catch up. As always, attendees to the event got their free hot chocolate. There were a variety to choose from. I had a white hot chocolate with cookie crumbs on top. We also enjoyed churros with chocolate dipping sauce along with a mixture of banana and strawberry, which was a pleasant surprise. Golden Key has a table reserved in the same corner of San Churro QV on the last Thursday of every month. I highly encourage you to come and get your free hot chocolate. The

Written by Kevin Tuyau (Swinburne Chapter Vice President 2017) In June I attended Golden Key Swinburne's annual Academic Breakfast at Café Blac. At this invitation only event the new committee, that was elected in May, got the opportunity to meet various key staff of Swinburne and the honorary Golden Key members inducted in the past. The most prominent of the guests being Swinburne Vice Chancellor Linda Kristjanson and Ernst & Young Partner Terence Jeyaretnam. For many on the committee, the breakfast is the first Golden Key event they attend and is a great opportunity to network. Guests are allocated seating specifically so Golden Key members are sitting next to a staff member or honorary member. The breakfast is also a great opportunity for Swinburne staff and honorary members to know more about Golden Key and the great work we do for the community and university.
