Justine Hall – President

What did you study at Swinburne? 
Master of Commerce (Marketing). During my studies I completed ‘leading teams’ elective, part of the Master of Science in Leadership Program (GLP - Global Leadership Program), delivered jointly by Swinburne University and Northeastern University, Boston, USA.            
I also completed the ‘My Mentor Program - Challenging Women to Make It Happen!’. My Mentor is a leadership and career mentoring program aimed for women to develop managerial skills and lead a team. Australian leading organisations have participated in the program including Telstra, PWC, ANZ and the Commonwealth Bank.

What motivates you when you study?
Writing my goals down and pinning them on my notice board in my room. Listening to music, my favourite is Emperor of the Sun - Walking on a Dream.

When did you join Golden Key? 
2012

What Golden Key positions have you held?
President, Swinburne (May 2017 - current)
Vice President, Swinburne (May 2015 - May 2017)
Asia-Pacific 2106 Conference Steering Committee Member (Sept 2015 - Feb 2016)
Academic Officer, Swinburne (May 2014 - May 2015)
Professional Development Officer - Team Leader, Swinburne (May 2012 - May 2014)

Most memorable Golden Key moment?
Introducing Alex Malley, Chief Executive Officer CPA Australia, at the Golden Key Asia-Pacific 2016 Conference. I have always wanted to meet him. There was an opportunity to introduce keynote speakers at the conference, so I put my name down. When I found out Alex was going to be a keynote speaker I jumped at the chance. I will never forget the hug he gave me after I introduced him at the conference.

Surprising Golden Key moment?
During my final year of university, I participated in the Swinburne University’s Faculty of Business and Enterprise Leaders Program. The program matched a later year student with a new undergraduate student, creating a mentor/mentee relationship in how to settle into university life. I saw my mentee later on at the Swinburne Golden Key New Members Reception. She is a Golden Key member!

Best thing of being a Swinburne Golden Key committee member? 
Working with passionate people who care about giving back to the community.

Vikhyat Dhingra | President Hi, my name is Vikhyat Dhingra, but most of my colleagues and friends know me simply as Vik. It gives me immense pleasure to carry out my first act as President by formally introducing myself and offering to each of you my warmest greetings. For starters, I have been affiliated with Swinburne University for 6 years now, having graduated with a Bachelor’s in IT in 2016, which I’ve since put to good use in my day job as a System Administrator. As a lover of lifelong learning, I’ve also committed myself to further study, having recently enrolled in a Master’s degree of Network Systems specialising in cybersecurity, which I hope to complete by the end of 2020. I have been a member of the Golden Key Society since 2015. While IT has been the subject of my academic life, I have many hobbies and interests that exist outside the realm of academia and computer technologies, the first of which is my passion as a writer. I favour the forms of poetry

By Kevin Tuyau - Vice President Swinburne Chapter Swinburne Chapter committee members met at Swinburne University in December 2018 to create 100 stationary packs for Backpack 4 Kids Victoria. The packs were filled with pencils, pens, rulers, erasers and exercise books. The chapter also donated $300 of chapter funding to purchase the stationary items needed for the packs. Backpack 4 Kids Victoria is an organisation that provides backpacks full of essential items to children fleeing domestic violence or have lost everything in house fires. The stationary packs made by the committee will be put in the backpacks along with other items such as clothes and toiletries. A couple of days after making the stationary packs, chapter co-vice president Kevin Tuyau delivered the packs to the Backpack 4 Kids Victoria head office. The organisation's founder Sally Beard was there to gladly accept the packs made by the committee. Backpack 4 Kids started in Sally's house in 2014 and

New Members Reception 2017 - Perspective of a New Member

By -
Written by Karuna Santosa - Swinburne University of Technology Research Assistant, Pro-Vice Chancellor’s Office of Student Engagement When I received a letter in the mail informing me I was invited to join the Golden Keys International Honour Society, I was quite surprised.  I had heard of the society before but I was not aware of what it did or what it stood for as a society.  The letter provided me information about a new members’ event which I was invited to attend.  I was not sure why I was receiving an invite at this stage of my studies, my marks had always been strong and my average score was steady.  So I decided to ask staff at Swinburne whether they thought it was worth paying $100 to join the society.  Interestingly enough, everyone I spoke too encouraged me to join because they believed it was a great networking opportunity.  I decided to find out more about the society before committing myself to the new members’ event.  I did this by attending the free information ses
