Pauline Csuba – Intellectual Engagement Officer


What did you study at Swinburne? 
Bachelor of Arts Professional Writing and Editing (Major) Journalism (Minor). During my studies I completed the Swinburne Emerging Leader Program in campus participation, career development, community engagement, global citizenship and industry experience.
Volunteered as a Swin-Mentor, O-Host and was involved in the Student Advancement Accelerate Program where I completed a semester in the Swinburne Centre for Career Development. I enjoyed a study tour to China as part of my degree and after receiving an invitation to join Golden Key I applied for and received a travel scholarship from Golden Key to attend the conference in Tucson Arizona.

What motivates you when you study?
Self-talk: reminding myself that I am capable of achieving and succeeding. I use my diary daily and write in all my assignments and read the unit outlines. I take a look back at what I have done and know I can achieve more. I pin up photos and affirmations to inspire me.

When did you join Golden Key? 
I joined Golden Key in 2015 after receiving an invitation letter from Swinburne University.

What Golden Key positions have you held?
Intellectual Engagement Officer (Aug 2016 - current)

Proudest Golden Key achievement?
Organising my first Intellectual Engagement Event and winning an Asia-Pacific Travel Scholarship to attend the conference in Tucson Arizona.

Most memorable Golden Key moment?
Attending the conference in Arizona and being there for the presentation of the Swinburne Chapter Gold plaque award ceremony.

Surprising Golden Key moment?
When I received an invitation from the Vice Chancellor Linda Kristjanson telling me I was eligible to join Golden Key International Honour Society for excellent marks and good academic record.

Best thing of being a Swinburne Golden Key committee member? 
Is being a part of a university chapter that encourages and supports Golden key committee members. Also the wonderful volunteers who genuinely commit to the chapter.

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
